The truck (cab and chassis) is considered to be a commericial vehicle (which it is in its present state) The various state laws read that all commericial, 3 axle, over 26000 lb trucks must report to the scales. So I am driving a 2007 Freightliner 3 axle, pulling a flatdeck trailer with our car on it (to get home) and the combination weighs 28600 lbs-how do I avoid the scales???
Some states, I was able to buy the permits at the scale for $30. Ohio, I had to phone, fill out a form and that cost $121. Illinnios was screwed up and I think it was over $100 and Indianna I needed a USDOT number that just didn't happen.
Once it is registered as a motorhome, everything will be okay but for the trip it was a challenge.
