I guess going BIG BOY TRUCKS and TRAILERS sure has it downsides...
Kinda makes me like my smaller footprint setup more and more... I have all the modern things the big boys have just less move around room inside. Gets great gas mileage too... Certainly don't have to worry about the LEO's

Since some states don't require a GCWR license what are they going to do with those trucks/trailers
Check them at the weigh stations!

My buddy was stopped by state police towing his fifth wheel. They told him it pertains to towing all trailers over 10000 lbs. They don't have to be strictly commercial.

I disagre with the logic because you buy a tag for the trailer and a tag for the truck, sounds like double dipping on the states part. A lot of states are this way including KS.

A couple years ago PA was pulling over race car haulers and toy haulers with sponsor logos on the side. Claimed they were "doing business" and therefore a commercial entity.

We'll, this should be fun. Unless they just recently changed federal law they can't do that for out of state private vehicles. Unless the rig looks to be over 26k# combined or they have commercial plates, then that is a different story
I would be very surprised if that were the case. I took it to be a change in PA licensing laws. North Carolina (my home state) has had weighted tags for years.
The thought process is - higher weight vehicle wear the roads more so we are going to charge them more.
It's logic that is hard to disagree with.
Dedicated RVs (not truck + trailer) are very often exempt from weighting. There's a reason why the HDT crowd work so hard to get their tow rigs reclassed at motorhomes. 🙂

I would think that if they pulled over and find someone from out of state, that is legal in the state of registration, they could easily have a lawsuit on their hands.
