Will do. Thank you.

This here "sealawyer" initated a Michigan Attorney General Investigation with his State Senator yesterday. I am requesting an Attorney General's opinion (force of law) to clear up MCL-Act-300-of-1949 Section 257.225, specifically, does this section exempt MV's from height, weight and width...

There is no exemption for antiques and width limits. In addition, we have "frost laws" that prohibit use in the spring on most roads. If the truck is an M-939 series truck you will have way too many headaches. FWIW State Troopers are great at what they do but they are not Motor Carrier...

Actually I have fully read it and talked to Commercial Motor Vehicle Enforcement in Lansing. (517-332-2521) The width limit is 96 inches on ALL secondary or county roads. (Trailers are 102 but this truck is NOT a trailer) It is only 102 on main or "designated" highways. I sold my M923A2 before...

5 ton is not legal on Michigan roads. http://mdotcf.state.mi.us/public/webforms/public/T-1.pdf Non-designated highways are 96 inches max width. The M939 series are 98 inches wide. You would have to get a "Oversize Load" permit for each time you get on the road. In addition, because of this, the...

From personal experience there are WAY too many variables. The rules are very state specific. You should call your Texas Commercial Truck Enforcement Branch. In Houston it is 12230 West Road Houston, TX. 77065 TX: 281.517.1259 This will save you a lot of time and trouble on here and avoid...

50 days for title from GP. They sent me a Florida title for my M923A2.

FWIW I have ARB lockers in my 1 ton pick up. They were fairly easy to install and have turned my "meh" GMC into an off-road dirt and on-road snow true 4 wheeler. It is not a mud-bogger at all but I have not been stuck in snow or a farm field since I upgraded. My truck has soldiered through 3...

I am at 45 days and mine was paid up front.

There are three fee schedules. The Farm, the GVWR, and the Commercial. They said if I was not using the truck "commercially" then this fee schedule applies. http://www.michigan.gov/documents/nongvwcommercialtrucks_19222_7.pdf

Yep coffey1, you are correct. I had a DVT in the Army after flying to Korea in a C141 back in 87. It came back in the same spot 3 years ago and almost killed me. It is an instant disqualifier for CDL. Problem is a "farm" truck that has these capabilities is about $40k not $5k. I should have been...

I enjoyed none of this. I DO NOT WANT A PARADE VEHICLE. That statue is for displaying the plate. It also does not address the other issue that is a sticky. To sum this up. 1. I want the truck to use for a farm. 2. The SOS said no to me personally for farm use. 3. If not, then I have to take a...

I am coming in peace. I am following the rules of Michigan. Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Division 517.241.0506 of the Michigan State Police warned me when I called them that these trucks are in their opinion "collector/parade" only. I was warned by an Inspector that a WeighMaster or Motor...

I am posting the links so that people in Michigan can see the laws. It would be nice to have someone in Michigan be helpful and point me in the right direction to change the laws. The "sour grapes" statements are not helpful. As it stands I have to buy a 1989 or older and let it sit most of the...

We cannot daily drive a collector truck. It is against the law in Michigan. https://www.michigan.gov/sos/0,4670,7-127-1585_1595_52364---,00.html Historical and authentic license plates Michigan has a long and proud history as the automotive center of the world. Many residents enjoy...
