Pulling trailers

firefighter5325 · 06-18-2009, 02:54 PM

Hey guys just a heads up to you guys that trailer your trucks to and from shows/shops etc... North Carolina is cracking down on overweight trucks meaning if you are pulling a trailer and going to be over 5000 lbs you need weighted tags. They are not just after semi trucks anymore went by a mobile weigh station this morning they were making regular trucks that were pulling trailers get on the scales. a guy that i work with, his brother is a deputy and was issued a overweight ticket in the neighboroing county, his ext cab Z71 pulling a 16' trailer with lawn equipment on it. the fines are not cheap. my 12000lb tags cost me 123$ a month. just thought i would give yall a heads up.

This would only apply to people who live and reside in NC right?

In sc we are not required to have tags on our trailers.

The only time they ran 4 lanes was for pinks. They are not running 4 lanes for any event but that. It was for tv. At a normal event the other 2 lanes are for when something happens to shut down 2 for cleanup. They only have one tree and hard to see across 2 lanes for it.

Well atleast they don't have to go down if someone sprays the track with oil
