Sounds like a real big hassle for those folks buying a new one ton and pulling a fifth wheel camper as well. Here in SC we don't have near those restrictions, but we do have to have USDOT number and a health card for anything over 10k GVW. This is new in the last 12 months. This doesnt apply to trucks with "farm" tags. This also doesn't apply for vehicles used for your personal use, like the camper guys. I guess this is all part of owning one of these older big trucks.
