with this post going on like it is it was funny I had a guy stop at the shop today with a 2000 F350 diesel dually pulling a big trailer he was having trans problems and is from Ga and needed to get back make a long story short I got to talking to him and asked what he carried in his trailer and it turns out he brings watermelon down to Fl from Ga when he leaves Ga his truck and trailer is 37000 Lbs I say so you a over weight and he proceeds to tell me he has NO CDL never stops at any weight stations or the ag inspection and in 12 years has never been stopped or even look at funny said he has been fined 1 in NC so he just doesnt go north anymore so I guess Fl and Ga really doent care much. Now I wouldnt make it 10 miles before I was pulled over LOL

Well I decided to see what my registration said for my truck and trailer (1/2 ton PU and open trailer). Well low and behold, says 1000 lbs for truck and trailer weight 1550 lbs.

So I have no GVWR on the truck or trailer on my registration. Is this normal on all Ohio registrations for non-commercial vehicles? What does that mean if I get stopped in PA?

I did call Ohio MVD years ago about this topic and was told don't worry because you are legal per Ohio law.

I don't know.........

Just checked and my truck has a GVWR of 10,000# and is tagged NON-comercial and the trailer has a GVWR of 7000# and is tagged comercial, so do I need to switch the truck to commercial tag's???

There are so many laws it is hard to keep up with. I have NC tags that are called "weighted" and I pay for them. I have my registration as 15,000lbs right now, but I am thinking that might be just a hair on the lite side. Truck around 7,000, trailer about 5,000 if I remember, and car 3,300 then the junk in the trailer. I am going to up it to 18,000 when I renew. The 15,000 cost me 250.00 a year.

So I am trying to be legal, but I am sure there is still some rule I don't know about.
