So, I went to the sherriff's department today to ask if I'd get in trouble. They said they didn't know! I was told to call the State Patrol's Motor Carrier division. After talking to them, the officer said since I LIVE there, I should be exempted as long as I can show that's my residence. He said I need to ask the county if I have to get paperwork for that exemption or not, but our county offices aren't open Fridays so I'll have to call them next week from the road.
I'm somewhat more cautiously optimistic than I was earlier. -

My guess though, is the county sheriff will not ticket. At least by his comment so far. I personally would not worry about it. Find the exact law that governes road weights for the state and county and any exemption. Just not worth loosing sleep over until you do.Sipesh Thanks this. -
NightWind Thanks this.

I prefer absolute freedom versus any sort of controlling.
I cannot stand any kind of control over home and lands that I own. It's not really mine to begin with. It's bad enough that I have to tolerate this rental. It's still better than a Home Association etc.NightWind, Midwest Trucker, tommymonza and 1 other person Thank this. -
The national network typically includes interstates and us highways. Federal law requires states to allow access on roads within 1 mile of those routes, although some states allow farther. If you need access beyond what is allowed by law, then you petition for access. In other words, this has absolutely NOTHING to do with driving on interstates and US highways, but rather on the state & local roads (such as the dirt road the OP needs to drive upon to go home). -
Colorado has an "Unlimited" distance as opposed to the 1 mile of several other states, so I should be good there. I'm little more than a mile from a state highway, so I'm not winding around for a massive distance. Since the sheriff and state patrol both weren't willing to get too excited about it, I just need to get a hold of the roads and bridges department to see if I need a paper stating my exemption or not. The Statie believed they have to give it to me. We'll see next week.
