Any one of those specs exceeded and the Highway Patrol can side line the

In my state of CT, you register a trailer for a stated gross weight,
subject to inspection. All homebuilt trailers are required to be
inspected to get initial and transfer registrations. Are there
states that just hand a plate to a homebuilt trailer without
inspecting it?


Here in Maine all they want to know about small homebuilt trailers is
the color and what you paid for it g. But I assume you can be cited
for unsafe operation or some other catchall if you're doing something
stupid.
