I talked today with the Indiana State Police DOT officer who is the head of our district. I wanted to find out what our state is looking at. I have a Dodge 3500 pulling a 48 foot Gooseneck with living quarters. The trailer is titled and plated as an RV. I have an 11000Lb plate on the truck. I need to weigh the truck but she said I was ok as long as the plate was above the actual weight of the truck. Being an RV the trailer was ok and exempt. But, hear comes the kicker. If you go to a race track and any money exchanges hands in anyway, that is considered commerce and you are considered a commercial vehicle. You must have Dot number, Class A CDL etc. As has been shown on here, if you are plating the trailer as a trailer, the 10000Lb GVWR of the trailer applies and you need all the DOT requirements. So it looks like we are as bad here as in any of the other states.
Not good news for sure. Glad I haven't entered the CC Norwalk event yet.
Looks like we may not go. I don't want to risk big fines!
Thanks!
