[Fot] towing and DOT

[fpspitfire at comcast.net]

A couple years ago the MazdaTrix guys were headed to runoffs and had their
Toterhome/trailer impounded at a DOT inspection station in Arizona for not
complying with the regs.B  The rig wasn't released until a licensed commercial
driver showed up to take it away.



There is a big gray area with racers tow vehicles and the requirements.B 
Certainly in the SCCA world because of contingencies it is considered
commercial.



I think someone else was hit for violating the per axle weight on a toter on
the Pennsylvania turnpike.



The regs are too confusing for me.B  I'll keep the 16' trailer and explorer to
tow with

My first try looks like it was too large, so I just included a link below.

The federal DOT regualtions kick in at 10000 lbs. B If your vehicle weighs
over
10,000 lbs and is being used commercially you are subject to DOT regs. B  See
below. Joe(B)
