Just saw an article where Nelly was arrested. Tenn troopers stopped his bus( had to be a RV ). Because it didn't display a US Dept of Trans and International Fuel Tax Assoc sticker. What are these stickers? And talk about the nose of the camel getting under the tent. Drugs were found on board.

His bus is a commercial vehicle so a CDL driver and fuel decal/tax required .. Not a RV so relax.

Not a RV so relax.X2Commercial vehicles pay road taxes based on how many miles they drive in each state based on a fleet mpg. They get refunds on the fuel tax they don't burn in a given state and have to pay taxes (per mile) in each state they drive through. This ensures "drive through" states get money for their roads. Since a truck can have a 1,000 mile or better range not every state would get their piece of the pie. Since cars tend to burn most the fuel (ie road tax) they buy where they bought it the states focus on trucks. When I use to haul beer cans I could leave Indianapolis and not stop for fuel again until I reached Santa Rosa NM. It's all a tax game.DOT numbers are required to be visible on each side to the truck as well. Again it's about collecting taxes.In Ag states they stop us to look for "red diesel" to ensure we are paying road taxes and not using "off road" fuel.On some large RV's that might have one time been a commercial vehicle have "Private RV not for hire" decals on the cab. It's all about the taxes.

Wonder if the Tennessee troopers seized the Prevost....I'm going to the auction...:W:W:W....Dennis

not Pat Butram - Pat Brady (one of the Sons of the Pioneers) The Jeep was Nelliebelle. Pat was an employee of the Double R Bar ranch, Roy's TV show ranch

Andy Devine was "Jingles P Jones". He was a sidekick to Autry. Butram was also a side kick to Gene Autry and also Mr. Haney on 'Green Acres'.

i did not know "nelly"
don't care for rap
BUT..something here seems out of bounds to me
its a commercial..rented..leased coach..right ?
Nelly is not responsible for the stickers, that is up to the leasing company
the driver is responsible for, taking it on the road without complaining,about the lack of stickers, which he should know might get him stopped
in my opinion.. the cops had no business going past the driver compartment
without clear and apparent "danger of a heinous crime"
social issues of drug use not with standing, they were the passengers, NOT the operators

would they stop a Greyhound bus, smell something and search the bus
how many pot heads, have gotten on a bus when stoned ?
passengers not causing trouble, ever been searched and arrested for it ?
