I told him I thought SC was a lot more relaxed on those laws and he said they are, up to 10,000 lbs. Since I was over 10,000 it was a "federal" transport law so every state is the same in reality over 10,000 lbs.
What I don't understand is that if I were in my truck with a farm tag on it I would have been exempt since it was for farm use - and it was since I was hauling my farm tractor. But.... if I were hauling the bronco with a farm tag it would not be legit farm use and I would get hit with false use of my farm tag. I need to weigh the fines of using a false farm tag (with REDUCED taxes) versus paying increased taxes on a P-tag. It's a double edge sword in multiple ways.
