Today this guy I do alot of work for got pulled over by DPS.He was pulling a 20' lowboy. The trooper said a new law required any trailer that can haul
4500lbs or more has to have an inspection sticker.WTF! Well he got ticketed for no inspection sticker. No warning,just a ticket and explanation why he was ticketed.Has anyone else heard of this new law? 4500lbs is like the majority of everything out there unless you have a single axle 3500lb 8-10' trailer.
ya its been in affect for a couple weeks now, i just got my new book for my cdl chit. Has every states laws in there. Colorado aint got one yet! Its probably a good thing that they do that though, other than a PITA to get inspected i have seen a lot of trailers with huge problems like frame cracks and fish plates missing. Keeps you and your load safe!
We had a cop pull us over @ 5 am one morning, and he wanted to do a "routine traffic inspection" on our Dual Tandem and PSD Dually. Once he saw that both had registered farm tags, he gave us back our paperwork and said, "never mind, have a good day". Easy enough.
so has any gotten clarification on wether or not this only applies to commercial trailers?
