This.

I run a B plate on my dually and a TE trailer plate, the combined weight ratings of these 2 plates is less than what I weight combined, so Im legal. Trailer is safety inspected and stickered.

Moral of the story to minimize overall cost and no truck inspection time/cost is to run a B plate on truck and overplate your trailer.

Went straight to safety lane inspection and got stickers for both for a combined total of $50.00. Inspection stickers are also only good for 6 months.

So every 6 months I`m supposed to take time off to go get some gay a$$ safety inspection for a pleasure vehicle !?! ? God I hate this state so much!!!!!!!:blaster::blaster::blaster::blaster::bl aster:
