Farm doesn't give you an exemption to federal rules. Crossing state lines is key here. E: I only mention this because the fines are draconian. rdb fucked around with this message at 16:18 on Sep 19, 2017 |

Well this is a hell of a thing to wake up to. I thought Dave was just a toolbox and maybe a week or two from getting it road worthy. By the time Sims could get a trailer ready to move it Dave could be done. I hope things can be worked out.

I think you can cross state lines, but it's within a radius of your farm. In any case, it doesn't apply to this situation. DOT officer last year told me he pulled a Ferrari with farm tags going down I95.

For those wondering why this is a concern, think of all the weigh stations you would pass on a trip like this. Legally, commercial or not, driving a truck and trailer your supposed to pull in. If you don't they are usually waiting in a car with the engine running to come get you.

So wait what did I miss? Did djdado just kind of snap or did something happen to warrant this? I get him not wanting to deal with this but I kind of assumed Dave moving to his field to fix this had been cleared with the djdanno family. Has something happened to change the situation?

OK, so are there any confirmed tool sets on their way to Dave? If not, in-store pickup at Ace or True Value for some basic tools seems like the way to go. This seems like a priority item. Also, how are you fixed for food/drink/supplies, Dave? We need to keep you going. Unfortunately, Shopko doesn't sell cigs for in-store pickup.

I did not realize that 10k means you have to stop and get weighed, and that's a lot of interactions with officers. Yeah everything has to be dotted and crossed. I need to get a plate for my trailer (it's a one time fee, SC does not require plates in-state), and roll it across some scales. I pay for 15k weighted tags, which *should* cover this haul if I end up involved.

That's fair I suppose with everything that's happened. Do you think the attitude is likely to change once you have tools aren't kind of just camping?

Whether the plan is to get Dick to a new campsite, get both of them to an alternate location, or just get some tools, I'm willing to help. Just let me know via PM, or EverDave can text me.

Are there any tools en route to Dave? Please speak up if you have put tools in the mail that are expected to arrive? Medium-term obviously the trukk has to move, but in the immediate moment, DJDaddo might be satisfied if we can at least give Dave something to do, to show some progress. And that means he needs some drat tools.

Dave should probably move his camp somewhere else first I would think, like he said he's basically squatting and who knows how long it will be before he can actually work on the truck. That would at least make the appearance better and maybe make Daddo feel better about it. Wow good poo poo. Yeah honestly if you want to be in good graces with the town Dave you should probably start working doing something, anything that shows you're not there to just wander around. Will help with the local cops as well, obviously you don't want to be on their radar. [e] Were you even planning on staying in Valentine or moving on to somewhere else?

If someone could just get some tools there it would probably solve the problem before anyone could get a trailer or whatever the gently caress else planning people are trying to do. I'm still sans job or I'd just buy a loving tool set at the store there so he could pick it up and start working on it. Also the person that invited 14mm out here needs to talk to his dad and calm him the gently caress down and work this poo poo out.

Lol somebody's truck who isn't his son is on his property and (no offence Dave) the guy who blew up a jeep on said property is currently camping there. I think under the circumstances you might be a bit stressy too. Also he probably doesn't get the whole internet forum car friends thing. A job would be a great idea and I bet with a "left the big city to find myself" story you could win some brownie points AcidRonin fucked around with this message at 21:17 on Sep 19, 2017 |

Yeah I don't think anyone should be upset at all with djdanno or djdaddo or any of that. They've been more than reasonable with this whole thing, even if the current situation comes as somewhat of a surprise. They're not out of line at all, and we haven't heard anything directly from them anyways so it's all conjecture or interpretation.

Legally, commercial or not, driving a truck and trailer your supposed to pull in. If you don't they are usually waiting in a car with the engine running to come get you. This is not legal advice, just common sense. I have a little experience with this, since I routinely pull a 32ft bumper-pull with a pair of race cars on it. ~8k GVWR plus another ~8k for the truck with humans, fuel, and gear. Trailer is tagged for 9999lb GVWR, truck is tagged for 9200 GVWR and 22k GCWR. I've never officially scaled it but my guess is that it's a hair shy of 16k GCWR. I have no DOT numbers, no CDL, nothing beyond a Class C. In CA, the limits are <10k off the bumper and <26k GCWR, so I'm legal here. Technically, since the truck is a pickup, it has CA commercial registration. I have never once stopped at a weigh station, never once been chased. A few years ago I hauled a similar rig (smaller trailer, ~12.5k GCWR) into Oregon, Nevada, and Utah for some events, and asked around about weigh stations and what would be required. I was told by a few people who tow similar rigs for similar reasons that if you are driving a pickup and hauling your own gear, nobody expects you to scale or stop at stations. If you do stop, it's more likely than not that they'll just be annoyed at you and ask you to GTFO. If you are hot-shot hauling, it's a different story, but that's not what this is. I've driven most major highways in Oregon, Nevada, and CA, and a decent chunk of Utah as well, and I've never had anything even resembling trouble. I have been stopped by LEOs in Oregon and CA towing trailers, neither one gave me any hassle at all about size or weight. Consider Montana's laws, which require anyone driving a truck with a GVWR of 8,000lbs or more to stop. That's every single 3/4 or 1 ton pickup. Some states are >10k, that's every single dually and most SRW 1-ton trucks from the last 5 years. Selective enforcement applies in spades, IMO.

I sent some food, clean laundry, a spare cooking pot, and a USB keychain battery. I think much of the food is going to be questionably useful until he gets a stove, as I thought it would get there before my things. I can put together another small box of stuff soon if it's wanted or needed. Did everything get there OK? UPS says it was delivered yesterday.

This is my gut feeling, but if I do end up hauling this thing, I intend to have my poo poo together. Not least of all do I want to make sure I'm not overloading my trailer. Interesting about the separate weights on your tag, SC only has a schedule of license fees for gross scaled weight, doesn't matter if single or combination. I pay $150 biannual-ly for 15k lbs on a tag marked "property carrying". It's probably this way because SC does not tax trailers or require tags on them.
