Tow Basics... Rules of the Road
Posted: Mon Jun 17, 2019 10:09 am
Being new to the tow world, I have setup the truck and trailer appropriately using many different sources for information on the internet and people with experience.
What I can't really find is the regulations on roads/highways. I know that my GCWR (gross combined weight rating) is >10k lbs, likely close to 12-13k. Questions I have, which may spur additional questions are, what are the restrictions for roadway use? What do I need to pay attention to so I don't unknowingly break any laws? Do I need to stop at weigh stations? I like to do things by the book, but I don't know what the book says.
Does anyone have a good source?
