In Reply to: OT, DOT "new" regs for Non Commercial. posted by Caleb in Manhattan KS [70.184.232.53] on Monday, September 15, 2014 at 13:42:17 :
Here is a link that refers to the DOT regs.

Here is the link to the FMCSA regs. The exemption is in section 390.3(f) Item 3.

It gives the Specific reg numbers for the exemption for non commercial truck over 10K. The author suggests that knowing the regs and carrying a copy of the regs with you will help you educate the officer that pulls you over. I have provided a link to the exemptions to USDOT (FMCSA) regs.
I do this with my WC and PW as many Washington State officers are not familiar with Washington State regs that govern how I have both trucks registered with the state. They try to hit me up for an expired license.
