What about farm tags on the truck and trailer??

Well I'm a farmer and run farm plates on all work trucks and my semi but not on my pickup that I tow the boat with. I don't want the headache of dealing with a cop in some state towing a 37 foot boat with farm plates. I will add I do have a loaded up cdl as I tested in when you could grandfather in.

Well I'm afraid I've had to feed my cows hay by boat before in a flood but I doubt I could convince a cop in some small town in Georgia that i was going to feed my cows while I was passing through "his town".

its my understanding - its not what the truck and boat actually weigh - its what the vin sticker says , when I took my class a test for my 650 with boat in tow , the dmv checked door/tounge sticker . before my license upgrade -I was stopped by a truck enforcement guy who told me also -goes by door sticker ,not the weight . door sticker on my 650 is gvw 26,000 I said that's crazy the truck weighs 12,000 where would you put 14,000 lbs in a pick up bed ?? he said it doesn't matter that's what the sticker says To solve my problem I got a class A non cdl , when I took the test the dmv told me the will be some truck enforcement officer who will take issue with this, my response was he would probably have an issue anyway ie. no log books or something else .

Can a farm tag allow you to tow anything? Even across state lines?

Yes but it is supposed to be farm related.

I don't believe the farm plates get you around anything either. I will also through out there that it's my understanding that regardless of what you are pulling or how you are plated if you are over 10,000 lbs you are to have a medical card. I doubt you will find that enforced much but I believe it's the law.

Don't forget to report to Homland Security every year if you have a CDL.
