I thought that SC had easier personal transport laws than NC but I was wrong. I was pulling my tractor behind my f-350 this morning and got pulled for an inspection. It took a full hour and I had a learning lesson :banghead:
Since I was over 10,001 lbs, I was held to all federal transport laws. With my personal tag I only pay taxes up to 10,000 lbs and I weighed in at 12,800 lbs (overweight I'd say :rubeyes
. I did not have a medical card, no fire extinguisher, no warning devices, no truck inspection (thought SC did away with these - not if you're over 10K :error, no trailer inspection, and best yet no trailer break-away.
He did compliment my tie-downs, proper weight distribution, correct rated hitch, correctly crossed chains, and the fact that all lights worked.
upergrin:
He let me go easy since I was all PERSONAL and nothing to do with business. I got fined $100 over-weight and he said he could have hit me with well over $1,000 of fines.
Time to go to the DMV to get a P-tag and pay more taxes :banghead:
