[AT] Trailers

[Paul Waugh]

Since I travel the country delivering RV's, many over 10,000 # GVW, I should 
go on to explain.  If the trailer is new and in good shape, you don't get 
bothered much, if the truck is clean and looks to be in good shape, you 
don't get bothered much, if you are obeying the speed limits, passing rules, 
and basically driving in a safe manner, you don't get bothered much. I have 
been in classrooms with DOT officers, and they can not agree among 
themselves what is right and what is wrong, I have seen a couple of pretty 
serious arguments between officers .. they're main concern is that people 
are being safe .. pulling a 16,000# GVW trailer with a 10,000# truck may not 
be considered safe.  I seen many 'rickety loads stopped by officers, while 
bigger better looking loads are allowed to pass
Any way, an interesting topic
