I have read this thread,and tried to not throw a fly in the ointment. I have a couple of ideas/points to make. The most important is the fact that D.O.T. is the Department of Transportation. To my knowledge, they do not make laws on anything. They do have a Safety Division, and its function is not to make laws. I am unclear as to what it is exactly what they do. Personally, I would be very hesitant in stating what is or is not legal contingent on the D.O.T policy.
Simply stated, is your truck D.O.T. approved? Can you show the proof if you believe it to be?

As usual, you make a great point Wayne. My wife is upper management for ODOT and sitting on the other couch..want me ask what DOT does? LOL....
You are exactly right, DOT does not write law....and LE doesn't enforce anything for DOT. I know my dept. doesn't.
