Yeah, its like pulling a big sign that says

STOP ME !!

You will seldom win an arguement on the side of the road with a law enforcement person

When he stops you, he is already intent on finding where you are breaking the law


Couple others and everyone might know them

make sure you have correct safety chains and they are by law hooked correctly

and make sure you have your break away switch intact and its working (check your battery)

They love to catch on those two items





Being as was one for over 10 years, And then worked in the Safety department of a rather large trucking co for 5 years , some things are just easy to see,, and you don't have to look hard!!
I still got down the road and see stuff that I know is illegal.
You also need to know just how wide of a trailer you can pull down some roads and yes even highways !!
Some you can not be over 98" wide, some are 102!!
So it is really up to the owner of the vehicle to make sure you are in compliance, most 'officials' at your local D M V , have no idea!!
I have a friend who pulls a dually crew cab , with a 28ft trailer, with ; B ' truck plates
he won't change till he gets a ticket!!
My boss now refuses to get his truck inspected even tho the "D" plates regs says he must!!
