Got pulled over in inspection area, trooper says I need cdl

Get a new vin tag from FL with a lower GVWR.

I used to have a Kaufman wedge that didn't have a vin tag, they always just went by the registration for the GVWR. But if you ever get a hardass dot they are going to go by your axle ratings if you dont have a vin sticker.

 

2015 f350 has a what on the vin door tag? 13500 GVWR? So you need the trailer to be at 12500. Pretty simple. Call feather light and see if you can get a new vin tag with a lower GVWR (12500#) most trailer manufacturers will give you one.

 

Like I said, if you get the wrong officer they will add up the trailer axles to come up with a GVWR.

Kaufman and take3 will overnight a new vin tag for like $25. Dont know about feather light.

 

Well they can technically write you up for whatever they want.

But, if your combination is under 26000 GVWR and your not over on any of your axles ratings you will be fine.

 

DOT regs.

 

Yes...as long as you don't get caught..LOL..trailer lic plate will be he tell all when trooper runs it.

 

Scratching off the sticker won't do a thing, get the CDL and be glad he didn't bust you for no IFTA, that's when they put on the shoulder length rubber glove.
