Hope your ride is better now

I've done 3 trips to Florida which was 22 hours each, and I've done one to Dallas. They aren't fun at all.

thanks chibi but unfortunately it got a lot worse.... zippy jinxed me, i got pulled over an hour away from where i had to go for going 60mph in a 45mph zone. the speed limit was 70 and dropped to 55 so i was slowing down and then it droped to 45 and the cop was sitting right at the 45 sign and pulled me over. so i got $197.00 fine for that. i got lucky thou, points on your driving record dont transfer from state to state so i got no points for it. im wondering if it will be turned into my insurance now seeing as there was no points, i sure hope not!

then on the way home i was 20min away and i get pulled over again for a DOT check, i was unaware i needed to be running a log book and need to be DOT legal i thought i was under the weight limit..... nope i was over, he sited me for not having my log book current $25.00 fine. (could of got me for $500.00 because i didnt even have a log book) and sited my company for no DOT stickers, no company name on truck, no triangles, no fire extinguisher, no wheel chalks, and the brake away system didnt work. my company will be seeing a couple thousand dollar fine lol. but anyway i am home safe other than this mess i went through and i am not answering my phone for work for the next 2 days and tomorrow im WALKING to the club and getting drunk. i dont wanna drive for a week after all this lol.

ok now its bed time finally, night all!!

We went to giddings Texas, we drove right by Dallas. The trailer was a 24ft covered double axle bumper pull. The gvw on the trailer was 9900lbs and the ram 3500 I was in had a gvw of 10100lbs so combine weight through me over. Cop told me anything over 17000lbs combined gvw I need a log book for pa driving and in any other state if the combine gvr is over 10000 or more I need to run a log book.

I misread what you said...you picked up an empty gooseneck trailer...Now I understand....

But thanks for the info! as far as GVW's.... Maybe next time you can go on Shipping Wars?
