At the moment they are focussing on the 1 ton versions, but I suspect this will be shortlived and we will be included in this once they catch on to the difference. But at the same time don't get caught runnin that trailer or load that put's you over that plate limit.

No stupid questions here. Most all of us are feelin pretty stupid about this whole topic right now and your qustion will un-doubtedly help somebody else out as this goes.

Forgot to add somethin here for the 3/4T folks. All this also is contingent that you don't pull a trailer that draws attention to you possibly being in commerce such as loaded with a car or animals, or in excess of 10,000 pounds and that's hard to do. Basically if you pull a trailer this is going to catch you. A medium size car on a dual axle trailer is gonna push the 10,000 mark.

 

Is this country wide or state to state?

 

It's being force fed by the Federal government to the states.

 

I am now looking at getting my CDL since I am sure that if I don't this will get me. As for the DOT numbers I am going to get a magnet that says "Not for Hire" hoping that this takes care of not needing these numbers. If that does not work for me the I guess that I will get the numbers and be out the money that they cost along with the higher insurance and such. Trust me if it gets to that I will start a company just for my hobby and show a loss thus getting into Uncle Sams pocket when tax times comes. Like I stated before I will play hard ball if he wants but he will not win with me

 

If your haulin a truck that is not registered in you or a family members name then you are for hire. I hope it works for ya but I'm gonna keep reminding folks that the first time it doesn't or you get that dick of cop it's gonna cost BIG.

 

After reading your post you got me to look and see what the dealer has my 2500 registered at. I wish I had looked sooner as they have it registered for 8,000 lbs So any time I hook to my uncles 21 ft, twin axle trailer I'm screwed as I sure weighs at least 1500 lbs. empty

 

Oh great. More of my money to our filthy, worthless, lying politicians that do about 1/20th good and 19/20ths crap.

how many gun owners are there in american? look at the rules they keep imposing on them. it doesn't matter what you want its what they want

 

yeah but if you dont register guns they cant track them, with trucks its a little harder.....

 

What happens the first time you use that gun and it's not legal, it's your hind end gettin hauled off to jail for illegal possession. What good is it to have the gun if you can't use it without jail time yourself. Same thing applies here with the trucks. Ok so you have a fancy diesel truck, now what are you gonna do with it if you don't get all this taken care of.

Uncle Sam's gonna get ya no matter what. You may outsmart him for the short term but it's just a fact that he pays a lot a smart people a lot a money to out smart us and they're good at what they do. Even if you have him outsmarted and you find that loop hole, the first time anybody get's pulled over and plays that card they will close that loop hole and then the other 5000 guys usin it are screwed and they don't even know it yet.
