I guess i rambled off: I was going to say, you should be fine with nothing in the bed. and don't tow a trailer with something on it that might look like a commodity. ( hay/ old tractor/lawn mower/vehicles/ dirt/gravel/load of building materials/etc.etc.etc. Keep your book in the truck with...

I will be passing that on, I personally know of 4 people up here who have received tickets with their personal pick-ups that got it for no DOT#. I think to many DOT officers up here with laws written to confuse anyone. 2 years ago with our work truck were pulled over when on I-75. They had...

The DOT # is free "NOW" I'm sure once they got everyone signed up and registered then the yearly fees will start/ then they will start to go up little by little. Isn't that how all these things start innocently and quietly!!!

Will do that. I'm going for full Michigan DOT compliance. Working on my headache rack with built in clearance lights right now.

I'm not sure about a historic vechicle clasification. I didn't see mention of anything yea or na in my Michigan truck drivers guide book. I haven't had a problem yet either, but getting ready to cross the DOT checkpoint soon with my jeep in the bed. So i know that i will get looked over pretty good.

Hi, Your S.O.S. should have given you a little yellow card. It tells you about Michigans new money making scheme. Any vechicle that has a weight rating over 10,000# pounds including 3/4 or 1 ton pick-ups have to have a DOT number. They don't kid around about this, one of the guys at work got a...

I will be putting that law to the test in 4 weeks when i go across the DOT station at the Mackinaw Bridge with the jeep in the bed bound for Drummond Island.

What you were thinking was what i was thinking. Then i asked the Secretary of State gal why do i see so many pick-ups up here running around with farm plates on them at wallmart/restraunts/around town. The guide lines state that what you are thinking.. But after a little flirting she let on...

I had them done at a local sign and banner shop. She was able to put together my images and ideas. Price was $60 for both sides. More would be cheaper as your paying half for the materials and half for design time.

You must know your jeeps to pick out my tj. That's one of my main reasons of getting to be fully DOT compliant. Leaving for Drummond Island in 4 weeks and that's how shes traveling. There's a DOT check point at the Mackinaw bridge ( my back yard ) Anyways there is a low spot in my yard that i...

Oh, and a helpful note: After a little flirting with the Secretary of State gal, she clued me in on this not openly mentioned piece of Michigan law. FMCSR 390.21 " Farm operations are considered in commerce, there is no prohibition against using a vehicle displacing identification and/or a U.S...

Hi, I thought i would share the decals that i had made up for the doors. Michigan law says that when you get a DOT # that you must have your company or private name posted on the side of the vehicle. You can also post "NOT FOR HIRE" if your not hauling commodities for hire. I personally have put...
