One step closer!!

When are you picking up the truck?

 

I asked Texas pride where I can get my annual DOT and they sent me to Tire Werks right next to them. I went there, paid $40 and got a DOT inspection all they checked was the lights. I asked them why I didn't get a sticker put on the trailer and they said Texas doesn't put stickers and I am good to work across borders like that with just a paper receipt.

They were wrong. A commercial vehicle that crosses state lines needs an annual dot inspection and they are supposed to put the inspection sticker on the trailer and truck. Sticker has the information of the company, vin, date of inspection ect. I had it done in Florida on my old trailer and eventually found a place not far from texas pride that gave me the annual inspection with the sticker and checked everything he was supposed to..

 

Nice! I might take a trip to Texas Pride today. Still looking for a trailer.
If I get a 40’, I’ll be a total of 65’6” & I don’t think it’s worth the risk.

 

I didn’t end up going. Do you know how long their trailer is from front to back?
I know PJ says theirs are 49’ and my truck is 16’6” from nose to gooseneck.

 

Silverado 3500 long bed and it has lights installed on the front that adds about 3’.

 

You'll be about a foot over 65'. Ford has the longest wheelbase pickup at 176". Add your 576" trailer & about 40" of front bumper overhang past the front axle. I get 792", or 66'..

Trust nothing a salesman ever says. Go by your own tape. Don't ask a scale house to measure you, unless you want a ticket. Do it yourself. Good luck out there..
