I've been seeing this for almost 20 years. Dumptrucks, bulldozers etc..always good for a laugh and kids driving by in cars seem to get a real kick out of it. I never heard of someone who does this get any type of hassle from DOT but it just proves that some guys are so unhappy in thier own life that they live to hassle others.

Probably more truck stop/terminal/cb stories, but I have heard the same thing only the one I heard the guy got a ticket for not having a BOL at a weigh station in Ca.

Odd this pops up now because I just heard this story 3 or 4 weeks ago. Hmmm.

I did the same thing with a Tonka dump truck on the back of my trailer, I also thought about the hassle from a petty DOT officer but then figured if you can have tarps strapped to the deck why not a Tonka truck.

whats the big deal about strapping a tonka to your empty skatebaoard i think its funny and you can be sure you wont be overweight with that load.

Just the fact that there are DOT officers out there that will go out of the way to make your day crappy.
