DOT police going to Charlotte

Robbie Welch · 04-14-2011, 07:21 AM

Any body hear of issues involving DOT towing to Charlotte this year? I know there have been problems in the past.

Robbie ,i think that problem has been resolved as far as length goes. I have not heard any horror stories as of late . Be careful and good luck if you go.

Dale Koncens was pull over and run though the Mill for over an hour.
In the end he got a $990 fine for being over the weight of the truck.
Don't quit understand, I always though it was a combonation of the truck and the trailer for the total weight.
However the officer told him it was just the weight of the truck, and gave him the hefty fine.
By the way the truck was registered at 11,000#

What do you guys think?

I am really sorry to hear that... One suggestion is to contact Steve Earwood, owner of Rockingham Dragstrip... I know that he has been working with the state rep. on this issue and knows the laws pretty well... Hope this helps...

He only had 11,000 pds on the truck?
Anymore details?

my understanding from a nj trooper friend of mine is that the truck plate MUST have the weight of entire unit on it, mine is 18,000 , registration gets costly but i prefer not to take any chances
