New trailer laws for MA.

[macojoe]

Going to have to have a Inspection sticker for trailers with rating of 3000# and above.
What have you guys done about titles and stuff?? I bet 75% here have no titles including me!!
I also guess this means I am going to have to repair the breaks to my trailer also and they need to be fixed complete!!

Commercial vehicles, trailers and converter dollies will be subject to the enhanced Mass. Commercial Motor Vehicle Inspection beginning 10/1/08.

2. This inspection will be the equivalent to the annual Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) "DOT" inspection. When your vehicle/trailer receives this enhanced state inspection beginning 10/1/2008, you will not be required to obtain an annual "DOT" inspection.
3. Single, full, or semi-trailers, used in commerce, that have a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) over 3,000 lbs or commercial vehicle/trailer combinations with a gross combined weight rating (GCVWR) of over 10,000 lbs will be subject to this new requirement, as will all heavy duty motor vehicles (over 10,000 lbs GVWR) and converter dollies.

TRAILERS AND CONVERTER DOLLIES IN USE AFTER JANUARY 1, 2009 MUST BE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THIS NEW INSPECTION.
