The DOT arguments have reared their ugly heads again and we need to be prepared. For those that have not encountered this before, the message below will give you and idea. If they are pulling you over for safety infractions and for inspection, that is on you. If you have not had your trailer inspected for this year, then I would recommend it. If you do not know how to hook up your trailer properly, I would recommend checking with DOT. As for the need for a CDL or a DOT number, I have included the documents that we obtained previously when this became an issue. "You do not need a DOT number when you are going to shows for hobby reasons. If you are a business in any way, you had better have a DOT #." Just for the record, racing people are businesses and in no way can a race meet be equated to a horse show. My recommendation, as it was before, is to carry a copy of the above documents with you when you travel to shows. And please hook up your trailers properly
