Sksman Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 It makes no sense why a personal pick up truck and enclosed trailer with a GVWR of 6,600lbs both requires a yellow sticker yet same pick up truck towing a fifth wheel travel trailer with a GVWR of 11,000lbs does not. No anual inspection for travel trailer. But feel comfortable in knowing that the outlets selling the large fifth wheel trailers can give the drivers a test and issue the driver their modified A licence to legally drive the truck / trailer combination. No physicla required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last issue recently was told to park at the scales. Officer comes out, hand over paperwork and comes back and says plates were terminated about month n a half ago. $140 ticket to the company and good to go. You would think the plates would be pulled and I'd be waiting for a big tow or another set of plates to come to the scales not drive off I don't get it with those dipshits as you call them. The ones on hwy 10 in caledon didn't want me there. We've had no issues with the scale house on the 400. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
