Message:: [QUOTE="TravR1, post: 10519764, member: 206908"]It depends on the trailer you are pulling. I crossed the NV border into CA with my tandems set on the 6th hole thinking I was legal then I got pulled in at just after midnight when "all them DOT dudes were sleeping" and I got inspected crossing the border off I-15 trying to get down into the LA valley. They gave me a pass on my tandems with just a verbal warning but nailed me for some chaffed airlines thing. Just buy a tape measurer and measure the length to make certain you are OK. Those CA DOT dudes don't sleep. Don't risk it. That's coming from experience. If your tandems are set correctly you have a good chance of just driving through and ever getting pulled in for extra attention. But if that does happen they will give you a complimentary face mask. So I don't know maybe it's worth? The trailer I was pulling was weighed barely legal at the 6th hole, but the DOT cop told me that trailer should be at the 4th hole. He said maybe roll it back "about 2 holes." But it depends on the trailer you have. Just measure it.[/QUOTE]
