For anyone going -- I have spoken with the NC DOT Enforcement division about
requirements for non-commercial trucks and trailers hauling horses.   Trucks
pulling horse trailers must stop at the weigh station and go across scales
in NC.  According to the officer Trucks and trailers hauling horses in NC
(private use) must have the power unit registered for the total amount of
weight of the truck, trailer and contents of both(including you since you
will be sitting in the truck on the scales).  You will be fined if you are
over the GW stated on your registration(didn't ask how much).  According to
the officer that is the only requirement.  No log book or permits or any
other paper work is required.

Got to go to DMV at lunch and change my registration -- it's a little on the
light side!
