What a pain in the ***

[gingib]

does this apply to ghost trailers also?

I always thought it was funny that nearly everyone I talked to had no idea they needed an inspection on their trailer. I've always had mine, but I bet more than half the trailers on the road are out of compliance.

I bet it closer to 95% where I live in east Texas.

Good article by your brother.




I never knew until recently that travel trailers and boats trailers and such had to be inspected. I know DOT trailers had to be. I think this is a huge money grab.

I knew this was coming it was just a matter of time before they started really enforcing it.

I have 12 or 13 trailers thank goodness only 3-4 will fall under this regulation. The rest are Farm use and 2 are under 4500ib.

What a pain in the arse!!

[dclifton]

Farm is exempt it says.

Yep, we've argued that law on here in the past. Been around a long time but very few knew about it or bothered to follow it. Now everyone will have to have it if combined weight of trailer and cargo exceeds 4500#.
Any trailer with dual 3500# axels is required. Along with many other travel trailers, utility trailers and boat trailers...
