Don't kid yourself. I pull equipment trailers frequently. Those ****ers stop any kind of trailer, any time they feel like it, for any reason or no reason at all.

I usually like to do my hauling to stage equipment on the weekends, at night, on holidays, etc. to avoid the DOT shakedown. Every little policing burg has them, it isn't just the state boys at the weigh stations anymore.

Try driving that Kodiak through Pasadena, for example. They will **** your world. We don't even pull trailers in Pasadena anymore. When we want to move a tractor from one plant to another, we just drive that mother****er there, with the slow moving triangle on it, going 20 mph.
