Today the local police had a temperary weight station set up across from my office. I don't know if Maple Grove hosting the national event this week had anything to do with it?
They were pulling everyone in with a trailer.
I went over and asked some questions.
Basically many things are a gray area.
If I understood them correctly the Federal law states that any combined vehicle weight over 10,000 lbs could require you to follow the Federal DOT guidelines.
Fire extinguishers medical cards log books.
According to the officer I spoke to the Federal law could be manipulated into meaning if you haul your daughters pony to a local horse show and it wins a ribbon it is now more valuable and you could profit from the experience you are now driving a commercial vehicle if the tow vehicle and the trailer combined weight is 10,001# or more.
