Geeez, my 1/2 ton, trailer and car weighed over 10k. I never got harassed in LA, AL, TN, GA or KY with it. I step up to a bigger truck because I got tired of white knuckling the steering wheel. Now I'm going to run the possibilty of being harassed by every DOT officer that passes me ! I say this because 2 of my friends have now been pulled over by DOT while they were pulling their solid white, no stickers, enclosed car trailers. Here in the south you don't see DOT pulling over Grandpa driving the CC Dually pulling a 36 ft camper or Jim Bob pulling a tractor or dozer that weighs well over 10k (and I mean INTER or INTRA stat).
