Scale Houses In Louisiana
Topic 18849 | Page 1
I just moved from Louisiana back to Utah. If I remember correctly, unless your using the gooseneck for commercial use you don't have to weigh. If you are using it for commercial use you will have to stop.
OOS:
When a violation by either a driver or company is confirmed, an out-of-service order removes either the driver or the vehicle from the roadway until the violation is corrected.
While it has been a lifetime ago, when I was a hotshot O/O the coops on the northern side (I20) you had to go in and they would waive you through. Now on the southern side (I10) they would call me in check my insurance, authority and logbook.
Logbook:
A written or electronic record of a driver's duty status which must be maintained at all times. The driver records the amount of time spent driving, on-duty not driving, in the sleeper berth, or off duty. The enforcement of the Hours Of Service Rules (HOS) are based upon the entries put in a driver's logbook.
Sounds like you are doing this for pay/commercial purposes. Hope you have the proper operating authority and insurance.
Yes I am trying to get everything up and going on my time off. I'm trying to find out what type of insurance that I will need to have.
I met a guy who was driving a company dually truck that was loaded with small pipe. (Think plumbing) he was pulled over and given a ticket for not having a log book. The cop said because he was from out of state (truck registered and logo from another state) and that the truck was loaded with pipe, he had to comply with H.O.S.
I suggested he get loose leaf logs for both him and his Co-driver. He starated to hymm and haw about the cost, that's when I left.
My point is, CYA before getting out there. I'm thinking because you're doing it for profit, you'd have to comply.

Yes he absolutely would. HOS regs, authority to operate in the states he intends to conduct business. Appropriate liability insurance ($1 million i think if i remember correctly), an LLC to protect personal assets, quarterly taxes pd in advance of estimate of what you'll owe, proper markings on said commercial vehicle. . Fuel taxes. It gets better too.
Just saying.
HOS:
Hours Of Service
HOS refers to the logbook hours of service regulations.New Reply:

I have a quick question that I'm trying to find out. If I am pulling a goose neck trailer with my personal truck hauling nursery plants do I have to stop in at the weigh stations in Louisiana and Texas? I just got my class A CDL's and I'm trying to get a little side job going while I'm still working my normal job. Any help with all of the legal information would be very much appreciated. Again thank you and have a blessed and safe travels out there on the road, Chris
