[RC] Flatbed trucks and Weigh Stations - Dyane Smith
It turns out that in California, if you take the pickup
bed off your truck (because they are making the 4x4's skyscrapers, now) and
replace it with a flatbed to get the bed under the gooseneck of a trailer built
before 2000, you have to register as a Commercial vehicle, get a Class A
license, keep a log and stop at all weigh stations.
Anyone else having these problems? Are you
stopping? Did you get a new license? How did all this work out for
you?
Makes me insane. The GVWR of the truck is 11,400;
the trailer 12,000. But, the CHP assures me that even a little Ranger
would no longer be classified as a pickup if you removed the bed.
