Towing OVER GCVWR in NWA

Arkansas State DOT has been pulling over and ticketing 1 Ton dually pickups pulling large backhoes and dozers recently around NW Arkansas.

There is a lot of construction activity in the area and many trucks out there everyday pulling big backhoes and even large dozers.

My neighbor pulls a JD 650 with his 2003 CTD 1 Ton every now and then.

Maybe the large 5th wheel RVs will be next.

Mine is within limits.

The State DOTs may be wising up!
