Hmmmm, very interesting, thats one I haven't heard of. I wish you could
give us more info on it for our personal knowledge and to pass on to others.
I don't guess I need it but I know people who may.
A man that I know has a Ford Diesel three quarter or maybe a one ton duelly
and he went to Arizona and bought himself a 48 foot three axle trailer that
goes up over the roof of the truck and he was cruising back to Florida with
three or four old cars on it and Texas pulled him over and cleaned his
clock. They told him he was breaking about fifteen laws, ROFLMAO
He told me he was going to go get his CDL and get the right tag to carry all
the weight, change the data plates on his trailer axles and on and on and
on. I told him he is nuts and is only asking for more problems, weigh
stations, etc, etc. I advised him to get his truck qualified as an RV and
do his thing. Here in florida if he has a sleeper behind the cab he can put
a PVC plastic water hook up and get an RV tag but he wasn't going to chop
his truck up so I said "do whatever you want my friend" Thats been about a
fortnight so I need to call him and ask what he decided to do.
