Attention to those trailering to Truckin Nats! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Knoxville just hosted a big Street Rod show at Chilhowee Pard this past weekend and the local and state law enforcement were very busy making sure trailers were safe. If you are stopped and they find any infractions they can (and probably will) impound your trailer with contents. Here is a link to Tn's DOS trailer inspection page;http://www.state.tn.us/safety/forms/...quirements.pdf

Not mentioned is that house trailer axles are illegal and that they also look at the welding (their judgement) for safety.
There were a lot of unhappy street rodders last weekend, don't be a unhappy trucker this one.
Hope to see you there.

Gee that's pretty basic common sense stuff. It's scary to think that alot of trailers DON'T meet those standards. Think about the time and money it takes to build a vehicle and then a guy goes an sticks it on a pos trailer and risks alot of lives and the the vehicle too in the process.
