In NC you have to tag the vehicle for the weight of both the vehicle and any load you might haul or tow. In my case the GVW on my truck is 26,000 and I can legally haul a trailer with a GVW of 10,000 or less without getting a CDL. Basically then I have to tag at 38,000 to make sure I also give myself a little buffer zone to insure I don't go over my tagged weight. Thing is in the tweove years I've had my truck I've only put a trailer behind it maybe half a dozen times.
If I hauled a trailer all the time it wouldn't be a big deal, but I don't. Even then I'm not complaining about having to pay for the right to haul the trailer when I want, it just galls me to see others getting away with doing something illegal and it costing them nothing simply because weight wise they "aren't as illegal" as I would be doing the same thing with my truck and trailer. In other words if they are going to enforce the laws then enforce them across the board and not just on heavy commercial vehicles. Thing is they aren't going to do that because many of the fines, etc for violations are based on weight and a 40,000 lb plus truck is going to bring in more money than ten of the 4,000 lb trucks.....and what DMV officer is going to actually work that hard to make sure they get the quantity of stops and fines they need to keep the politicians happy????

Today's Featured Article - Oliver 550 Purchaser Checklist - by Greg Sheppard. Pound for pound the 550 is better than anything I've seen. It has great power for its size and can really hunker down and lug. Classified as a 3-bottom plow depending on soil conditions. I personally don't think it can be beat for a utility tractor in the 40 HP range. They are extremely thrifty on fuel, at least my DSL is. Most drive train parts are fairly easy to get. Sheet metal is probably the hardest thing to
