Jeff Tripp got pulled over for the same reason last year...passing the scales with his dually and fifth wheel trailer....he has since gotten DOT numbers for his truck.

I talked to NYS DOT Officials and was told my deisel pusher w/ 26 ft. tag trailer must pull in to weigh stations also...only if trailer is on the back.

Don't forget your log book!If you are more than 150 miles from home you are required to fillout a log book. My ticket cost me big money after I decided to fight it.

Here's the kicker. My truck is a 2500HD short bed crew cab Chevy truck, not a dually! Trailer is a 26' tag trailer. Truck and trailer was 18,000 lbs total weight.
