[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1731995, member: 498"] A couple of years before I moved out of Washington the state DOT and a brand inspector were at the top of White Pass pulling over every stock trailer. This was on a Thursday which is sale day at the Toppenish sale. They checked for DOT numbers. Per DOT requirements you had to have a fire extinguisher, first aid kit, and flares or those triangle reflectors. The brand dept requires you to have a haul slip filled out before pulling on to the road. Most people fill them out before unloading at the sale. They were righting tickets for not having any of the listed items. They did this on week one. I hadn't gone there that week and was told about it by a friend. I made sure I had everything when I went on week 2. They weren't doing it that week. Week 3 they were at it again and I had stayed home. I knew a couple guys who got the ticket for no DOT number. It wasn't a small ticket. I painted my DOT number on a board. Used some 2x2's fastened to it to fit in the stake pockets. When the trailer was hooked up in put my numbers on. When I unhooked the trailer the DOT number came off. [/QUOTE]
