I do not need a DOT number.
If you could show where it says that I would appreciate it because that is not the way I understand it.

It would have to be in the state statues. Florida has it in their's. You are limited to 150 miles from your farm. We see semis all the time with the farm exemption tags and no FL DOT numbers.If you could show where it says that I would appreciate it because that is not the way I understand it.
So are any of you guys thinking there should be some special license to drive something like this?
But we all know there are issues with a lot of old folks out there driving.
Commercial vehicle enforcement on the part of law enforcement is ALL ABOUT MONEY.
Re: frame welding. Has anyone actually seen frame failure from welding? If so, what size vehicle?
C'mon now, that's a little ridiculous. Enforcement Officers that apply the rules are simply doing the job they're supposed to do. Should they take the job and draw the salary....and then not do the job? Is that common and accepted practice in your profession? They're not writing the laws or regulations, so why be upset with them instead of the entities that are writing the rules?
Yesterday I saw a pickup pulling a large conventional travel trailer with another trailer behind that:confused2: I really wondered what is GCWR was and I'm pretty sure that double trailers is illegal except some places allow it with a fifth wheel trailer....this was all "bumper pull".
You are correct that double pull is illegal in your area. I have a book with all the trailer laws and in NC, SC, and FL for example it is illegal. In about 40 of the states its legal and there is no limitation if its 5th wheel or not. The only stipulation on double pull is total length. For example here in Indiana its legal and done commonly. The only stipulation is it must be under 60' long and of course they both must have the proper lighting, safety chains, and brakes if over 3000#, ect.
