Re: DOT feedback Re: weight, CDL, and registration

I'm going to kindly disagree here. I think the DOT Gal is correct. DOT Cops, State Troopers, etc. could care less what Your truck or trailer is RATED by the manufacturer to carry and ONLY care about what it's licensed & registered to carry, AND what it actually scales out at. In My short 5-6 year driving carreer running 10, 14, & 18 wheelers in eight midwestern states I NEVER had a Cop look at the rating plates on ANY piece of road equip. But they ALL cared what the license was good for and what their scale said. You may find Local Cops who are clueless on these things and will hassle You to no end....That's just BAD luck and should be easily dismissed.
