I agree, tho my knowledge is old and second hand.
It makes sense that if they meet the minimum standards the Feds lay down
then NO state can bar them from traveling through that state. Hell,
aren't we about to allow Mexico to enter the US, many of those southern
and western states crying foul because most trucks registered in Mexico
can't come CLOSE to passing US safety and emissions standards, much less
whatever state they are passing through?

Glenn,
I somehow doubt that Mass will purposely impound a vehicle that is legally
registered in the United States, and have a leg to stand on. It may not be
by their state laws, but the registration is legal and binding elsewhere,
and that is what counts. You know, it is the UNITED States, they can't so
blatantly disregard that it has legal registration.

Hi'
Wait till he blows by a truck team weigh station and they have to chase
him down in a cruiser. If they see the 5th wheel in MA it will be all
over. Poof---gone. Big tow bill to impound lot by the State Police.
Not worth it unless you plan on staying in states where you know it will
fly.

Dave,
What state is this rig registered in? He would not have been able to
register it as an RV in Florida. To register it in Florida the fifth
wheel cannot be there and the prime mover must have one of three things
permanently attached as far as I understand the statue. It must have
either a hookup for 110 volt alternating current, a hookup for water or
a hookup for liquid petroleum. Either one of the three will get you an
RV tag. It don't make a lot of sense to me but thats what they have on
the books.
Thanks for the photo. He just has a tractor, plain and simple, the way
it looks to me. I'm surprised that the DOT don't stay on his case.
