Literally dreamed of another DOT check this morning (I was admiring deep drifts of snow around a pair of e250s on the trailer while at a rest area. I'd left the passenger door open, and as I was about to leave and was walking around to shut the door and take off, DOT walked up...)
So I woke up thinking about a 12k tag, and adding up to under 26. doesn't solve any of the commercial compliance stuff, but completely simplifies everything when on my own, and avoids IFTA reporting when commercial.
