Huh... and to think that the wife and I drove clear across the country without plates on our trailer and never even got a second look...
Of course, we had the paperwork in the truck, the plates just hadn't arrived yet. Also, who else here rivets their plate to the fender on the trailer? The scumbags in CA make it pretty much mandatory to prevent the plate from being stolen.

Ah yes, Hamilton County's finest doing what the do best!
Why do you think I moved across the border!!!!  Steve, back in 92 me and Nagai both got speeding tickets for going 41 in the 35 zone on East Miami the week after they repaved it. Prior to that you couldn't go 35 down it if your life depended on it! He followed both of us from the soccer fields into the track and wrote us tickets blocking the entrance on one side. P.S. I do have legal tags, lights, brakes, everything.

I read an article in one of the drag racing publications about trailers, tow vehicles and CDL license requirements. I seems that in some states enforce the 18,000 and up weight rule which requires drivers to have a CDL and a log book. They would also require you to stop at all port of entries. Just having "For Private Use Only" or "Not for Hire" won't cut it. Large goosenecks and large stacker trailers and any one pulling with a large motorcoach--be warned. Also the trailer would require placards for flamables if you have race gas on board. What a bunch of bureaucratic crap.

Fast eddy, you are right. A friend of mine got stopped two weeks ago in Iowa with a one ton and 42 ft trailer. total weight just over 23000. He was given tickets for no log book, no cdl, over weight for the tag he had on the trailer, no medical certificate, and was held at a truck stop for eight hours before he could go on. the fines were just over $1000,00.

Haven't talked to Mike in over a year. His car, last time I stopped by, was rusting under a tarp, still on the trailer, with the same blown motor in it from 8 yrs ago???
Its a chevy product everyone, so don't get to excited.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
