there's very few of us that have to be concened about the length issues. However the last lengthy thread about towing was based upon the clarification of when is the term "commercial" really apply to the average racer . should you have a CDL or not if not exempted by towing with a motorhome but a dualie etc.. That we should all be aware of and how to deal with it.The chances of that being a reason to have the troopers or locals write you are much greater.
there is a provions written in federal CDL,laws to protect us. after that thread I carry a copy in the glovebox.
techniaclly unless they can do tax return on the spot they can't write you up

Question 21: Does the exemption in §390.3(f)(3) for the ‘‘occasional transportation of personal property by individuals not for compensation nor in the furtherance of a commercial enterprise’’ apply to persons who occasionally use CMVs to transport cars, boats, horses, etc., to races, tournaments, shows or similar events, even if prize money is offered at these events?
Guidance: The exemption would apply to this kind of transportation, provided: (1) The underlying activities are not undertaken for profit, i.e., (a) prize money is declared as ordinary income for tax purposes, and (b) the cost of the underlying activities is not deducted as a business expense for tax purposes and, where relevant; (2) corporate sponsorship is not involved. Drivers must confer with their State of licensure to determine the licensing provisions to which they are subject.
