[QUOTE="Tim McCulloch, post: 43318, member: 67"] Re: Moving trucks I don't believe there are exceptions in the federal regs, but I've been wrong before. The reality is that most of the enforcement officers just shrug their shoulders when they encounter weekend gear-grinders with a Penske full of furniture, appliances, and boxed household goods. If the truck is from National Lease or Rollins or any other commercial rental/leasing companies, the driver WILL be considered commercial no matter what is inside the truck; there is no presumption of ignorance or "one time deal" as with a home owner moving his own goods. Colorado requires all vehicles over 8,000 or 10,000# (don't remember which) to stop at weight stations. The signs used to say "Including pickups with campers or vehicles towing a trailer." IOW, almost anything that wasn't exclusively a passenger car. It included private motorhomes & RVs, too. New Mexico requires trip permits for anyone not hauling personal *household goods* in a rental truck. They exempt TV and film production. If you've got the household goods, rental truck exemptions in the CFR, let me know... [/QUOTE]
