illinois police

[SS427]

We got stopped in Wisconsin and were told that any pick up pulling an enclosed trailer needed to weigh in. The trooper made us prove to her that we only had a car in the trailer and that we were not selling anything. My understanding was any commercial vehicle needed to stop but not a "not for hire' vehicle. She also stated to be cautious as Illinois was also that way and we were heading into Illinois. To be honest, I have never checked with the Wisconsin DOT to verify as she was a trooper and had a DOT person with her. This was the first and only time that had happened. This person came out of a weigh station with lights flashing and caught up to us.
