TEXT:

I own and operate a small welding shop in southern West Virginia and recently asked for and received information pertaining to the manufacture of utility trailers.

Not being a lawyer, literary professor, or physic, nor being able to afford hiring one, I am unable to interpret the information I received.

I am asking for your help. I need to know what is needed with regard to lighting requirements, brakes, length, width, and any other requirements pertaining to trailers only. I don't need any information relevant to the manufacture of automobiles, truck s, or any other motor driven vehicle, foreign or domestic. (I have already sent for VIN information from SAE.)

I also would like to have this information written in such a way that is easily understood by someone such as myself.

This information would not only be of great benefit to me but potentially to the economy of this depressed region. I have the possibility of manufacturing a great number of trailers, both commercially and for the general public.

Any help that you can provide me with will be greatly appreciated.
