IFTA, CDL, Scales, and Pickups w/trailers!

Don't haul Out of state horses or livestock w/o DOT and MC #. Your insurance wont cover anything in case of an accident if you haul any livestock commercially. Horses have to have a Coggins test, current and state the owners name. If you are hauling 6 horses and get stopped, How will you prove they are your horses?? FL is really bad and so is CA AZ NM CO WY And MT about livestock inspection. They have brand inspectors roving around the state and at the port to inspect. It is not worth the trouble you can get yourself into because they WILL confiscate stock and equipment on the spot. Look at the Uship site for more on light hauling. There are about 100 pages of stuff.

 

only truck thats gonna pull that much weight will be a 1 ton dually diesel

 

With all due respect. Im a car hauler. I drive a 99 manual 5spd ram 3500 that pulls a 50ft 3 car wedge. I will agree with some of the things your saying about the set up. Thats why you set your truck up before you hit the road and start pulling. My truck has 100hp injectors quadzilla custom tune 4inch exhaust 3.73 gear. 40lbs of boost. jakob exhaust brake. I pull 26k every week only tires i ever blew where the ones on my trailer. Who doesnt blow trailer tires? My truck gets 12 to 16 mpg depending how i feel like driving it. Im also a class A cdl driver who use to run my own big truck. but i enjoy My dually more because when im not hooked up to the trailer its really fun to drive. DOT will mess with who ever they feel like messing with bottom line. You can have the perfect truck and they will still find something wrong with it. My advice is do whats best for your ownes pockets. Drive safe dont slack on any pretrips. Anything unsafe with your tow rig fix it. Or park it. Just my 2cents
