If I needed medical advise would I consult a doctor or the guy changing the bed pans? I have to agree with "Dr. Wadcutter" on this one.
JIMNLIN - do you really believe that every LEO officer on this forum with weight enforcement experience is wrong on this subject? I have yet to see a single LEO on this forum agree with you. In fact every response I have seen by one of these individuals has directly contradicted your claims. Maybe I'm just not looking hard enough.
Are there any LEO's out there who want to support JIMLIN's claims?
Guess you don't agree with what the "clickie above" on what 390.5 says regarding mising door tag GVWR, huh. Thats not surprising as the reg debunks the matteress tag theory and makes the tag a legal issue.
I wasn't interested in info from bed pan changers either so I contacted both my doctor leo (OKDOT field officer and a troop S offier from our new commercial weights enforcement division) who is the only leo I'm concerned with for door tag interpetations for the state of Oklahoma. If it disagrees with your opinion or a leo from other states opinion thats your/their problem. I also don't read as you do that every leo on the web agrees with your position on door tag issues. I've heard comments that because its a RV it doesnt pertain from a leo. Many leos aren't weight certified and know very little about weight regs and how their state enforces door tag issues.
10 ton had some good info/advise also on GVWR/GAWR door tag issues. He probably knows more about door tag GVWR/GAWR issues than anyone on a RV web. Going through different state scale houses for several years gives lots of interpetation experiences. His info/opinion are correct IMO.
I don't know what 10 ton knows but I can tell you what he does not know. He claims that in Texas you can only register a private truck up to the weight on the "Fed Label". This is absolutely false as I have done it myself. He also is not anywhere close in his description of how insurance companies operate. Why would I take his word on any of these matters when I know he is providing incorrect information on these subjects?
I guess on the other matters we will simply have to agree to disagree. Every LEO with weight enforcement experience (throughout the country I might add) has taken the same position as wadcutter on this subject. I have yet to see anyone who can speak with any authority on the matter support your argument on this forum. Of course some poeple will always take the Lone Wolf position regardless of how much the evidence points in the other direction. You are going to believe what you believe and there is nothing the experienced and intelligent real experts are going to say that is going to change your mind.
