follow me to the next exit.she does a full inspect on truck &trailer including
inside trailer.long story short,since they were racecars,entry fees are being
paid and winnings being paid it becomes a federal issue therefore a cdl is
required.also a log book,an medical card.so i waited 4hrs for a friend with a cdl
to come an drive my rig away.so i suggest if ya get pulled over show car in the trailer
Joe, good thing she stayed because she could have had you towed at your expense. I can't believe she wasted 4hrs of her shift waiting there. You need to get her and whoever she answers to, and explain to them that they're wrong(49 CFR 390.3(F)(3) provides an exemption from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulation. All over Canada and the U.S. States and City are trying new ways to fill their depleted coffers and how better way than taking from the have's and giving to the have's not. Believe me there is still some good people at these DMV you just have to dig and dig until you find one that will not BS their way out of finding the right answer. Carry that law explanation with you in your vehicle and be knowledgeable enough to stand your ground.Claude Ruel
