After MANY years of towing I was stopped yesterday by the MA DOT. I've a Dodge Ram 2500 with 24 ft enclosed trailer. It was told to me that since I have a combined GVW over 10,000 lbs and traveling from CT to NY through MA I was required to obtain a DOT number and put my name on both sides of the truck. I explained that I'm a hobby racer and have been for years. He said that if I win money racing and travel interstate that constitutes "interstate commerce" and I have to register with the DOT.
Can someone shed some light on this please?



Did he give you a ticket? I tow up to LVD through Mass. and have never been stopped.



I've been towing up there for 25 years and this was the 1st time I was ever stopped. No ticket was issued. Just a little speech.
He must've been bored or pissed that he had to work on Memorial day weekend so he pulled me over.
I putting "NOT FOR HIRE" on the truck and trailer before my next trip so we'll see what happens then.
