[QUOTE="TheLazyM, post: 205906, member: 3117"] but see thats the thing, alabama doesnt have scales. dot guys troopers and dot has to rely on portable scales so there is no reason on numbers being seen. as far as where we disagree we really dont. i say this because alabama right now is saying they wont inspect our trucks. we just got to get the dot numbers just to "look good" a a matter of speaking. i understand that the feds. and the state wants to keep the roads as safe as possible, and if they where going to inspect truck and trailers and condium the unsafe trucks and trailers from on state roads i'd see where this is going. my 05 fx4 scab 4x4 f150 weight 6000lbs with a 1/4 tank of gas. my cattle trailer weight right at 3000lbs. that puts my truck and trail right under the 10,001. it would be very easy for me to tobble over the gross weight. its as if alabama is saying here you need this its been a law for like 12 years{not sure right here} its just a formality it dont mean nothing. but then 5 years down the road they popup "we got to have all your trucks up here to inspect and a inspection sticker going to cost you $1000." if its something to sucker us with why not just go ahead and hit us with it.
