you can run a small trailer as long as it is private down the interstate in Ga. and go by the scale houses if it is being pulled by a commercial vehicle you are supposed to go in the scale houses there they can pull surprise inspections. The requirements for a CDL are for trailers over 10,001 lbs. farm equipment get a pass on the weight and width laws that require permits if it is your equipment and not being hauled for hire. If you need some help getting it closer I may be able to help for a small fee.I got time off work due to weather so I could use some income to offset the time off work
