I'll tell you exactly what the DOT has to do with transporting anything on a trailer. If you are involved in an accident where there is a personal injury while towing a trailer on a public highway, the personal injury lawyer for your opponent, often known as the plaintiff's attorney, will be so far up your backside on the technicalities of DOT CFRs that you'll be lucky to have coffee money by the time you are done paying your attorney and any possible damages or fines.
Are you familiar with caveat emptor? Why be stupid or careless when you have liability, even if you had no ethical concern for anyone else's well being?

It isn't that simple. I'm sorry that OP had this bad experience but a guy has got to cover his own backside.

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
