Well guys. I finally got D. O. T. In dodge. It wasent pretty. The short story is he said I will receive citations in the mail. And let me go. He did it all from measuring bumper height to taking pictures of the suspension in back. From what I can tell. Cuz he was very mean. Possible citations are going to be tires out past back fenders, back wheel spacers & having the l shaped fuel tank in back of truck. He said I need a licence endorsement to haul that tank. I will update when and if I get the citations. :(
PS: He said back axel can't be touching road.
That was a sad post to read.
If you exceed 100 gallons of fuel, they can consider it a fueling truck, and yes that requires a tanker driver's license, and other endorsements. Funny how a 18 year old in the Army can drive a fuel truck with barely any training on how to shift the gears, but you must have 10 endorsements and a permit!
I can understand the tires sending up streaks of mud onto the cars it is passing, if driving in rain and not the proper mud flaps. Still it would be sad to have to remove the rear most axle, that seems a little to over the top. Perhaps a Police Sargent will take a look at the tailgate and toss out all the pictures.
