Florida Police Trouble

I never have as motor homes do not have a weight spec unless some state passed one recently. There are definitions that can help determine if you are truly a CMV (Commercial Motor Vehicle). If you fit, you get it all; log books, scales, regs. If you are not a CMV, you don't have to stop at the scales. DOT starts @ 10,000 lbs combined weight (truck/trailer). I wrote a document a few years ago about this for National Dragster and they published it once since then. If you want a copy, send me a fax #. The real problem is we are not the problem. But it only takes one policeman who I can assure you probably does not have any idea there is specific exemption for us, that also doesn't like racers to make your life miserable. The length deal in Florida is a Florida thing. email me if you need more info. jefft@southlanddodge.com or call 888-876-1817 and tell the receptionist it is about racing. Get's you right through.
