Weight of truck and passengers 7500 lbs
Weight of trailer 2500 lbs
Weight of machine I'd like to pick up 1600 lbs
Route is from Michigan to Ohio turnpike, so if there's an opportunity to pull me over, they'll do it.
For the record, it's not even a commercial venture...I just don't feel like getting pulled over since I always get a deer in the headlights thing with cops. The machine is just past what I really feel like dropping in the bed because there are no longer any good strapping points in modern trucks.
I've avoided similar trips that were clearly commercial ventures, but similar weights...but this one I'm picking up a hobby machine that I'd like. I can call in a favor and use a friends stake bed, I just really don't want to do that.
