That was an article written by someone with no clue what they’re talking about and guessing about everything. Incorrectly.
Lack of CDL is more likely the infraction, because it’s a truck & trailer with an over-26,000 GVW.
If the overall length was over 75’ that’s also an infraction.
It’s highly unlikely he was carrying anything at all, probably just moving the trailer.
It’s nowhere near as stupid as some of you are claiming. Guys tow toy hauler trailers as heavy as that empty trailer and you all think it’s fine.
He didn’t need a dually, he has the trailer on a dolly. The dolly is a dually.
If he didn’t have a doubles/triples endorsement on his CDL, if he had one, that’s a problem too.
We don’t know if he had the brakes hooked up. Maybe he did. It’s not impossible to do.
