Re: MAP's 2010 Shootout Saga

Haha yeah we're about 20" short in regards to the length requirement. It has a not for hire sticker on it, and the inspector actually told me that I should take it off as it makes us look like we have no idea what we're doing lol. I would be more than happy to bypass the weigh stations if I didn't think I would get in trouble for it, the rig weighs almost 40,000lbs fully loaded and anything over 26,000 has to have US DOT# and make such stops at every open station. We also have to have IRP and IFTA if we travel out of state. Believe me I have researched long and hard how we could possibly avoid jumping through all these hoops as we only travel like 5000 miles a year, but without it being a recreational vehicle I can't find any such loopholes
