    Just buy more trucks to go under those trailers! That's the most useful looking beavertail I've ever seen and I'm going to talk to Wilson at MATS. We'll see where that goes.

    No, I just had plenty of time sitting and only two books to read, the first was the Bible, and the other one was the FMCSR aka the truckers Green Bible.

    That's always the case isn't it? Been pondering putting a team on over here, but dread trying to find one!

    I just called the manufacturer, they just said they never have issued insp. at the factory, and since I picked these up myself instead of at a dealer, hence, no insp. sticker.

    Mystery solved. LOL

    The reason most trailer manufactures don't have an inspection in them is 396.15. States when the vehicle is a part of a shipment being delivered(driveaway\towaway), it is exempt from the requirements of 396.17 (annual Inspection). Once the vehicle is put into service, the inspection is required.
