Show Truck - Not For Hire

same as if you were driving it to pick up a load. My guess is everything.

 

Tag it as a RV, put "Not For Hire" on the door. Get insurance and Roll On

 

It's not a commercial vehicle. Tag both truck and trailer with historical plates. There are companies that sell insurance for historical vehicles that run limited miles.

 

The only exceptions I have heard of are agriculture and RV. In a farm truck, with a farm tag, I still had to have a temperary IFTA traveling out of state to pick up equipment. Every scale looked at it also.
I ran a log book just to cut down on the BS factor.
Liability insurance will do but some carriers will look at you cross eyed and turn you down.
Sounds like Cottonmouth has your answer but I would not blow by the scales with that like the horse haulers do. Expect to meet new people so always have your stuff in order.

 

Think @Long FLD and I got 'er nailed down. You most likely had stickers and a coloring book since you technically were working.

Still wouldn't blow past a coop tho

 

If your entering shows and have a chance to win money this is a grey area.

 

Yeah I've heard similar things about race rigs. But im not sure cuz I see plenty, even 'pro' teams wearing the not for hire badge.

 

My guess would be the number of times this ever became an issue would be zero

 

They pull over pickups and trailers all the time in MN pulling track cars/snowmobiles headed to events that give cash prizes. Heck any enclosed trailer behind a pickup they pull over all vehicles here over 10k gvwt can be inspected. How would this be different? Several have been fined for no dot #, triangles, inspection sticker and extinguisher.

You can purchase non comercial plates though up to I believe 15k

 

It's not a commercial vehicle. They can pull anyone they want over but your no different than an RV or any other vehicle on the road with the possible exception of limited yearly mileage with your antique insurance policy if you have one.
