Not exactly. The example I gave you of a dump truck with a GVWR of 56k towing a 1k trailer is still a class B vehicle, because the trailer doesn't weigh over 10,000 LBS.

My comment was ONLY directed at the OP's post.

I have no clue what you are referring to.

However, If you are operating a vehicle that has a gvwr of 56,000 you better have a cdl.

I thought your comment was directed at CondoCruiser. My bad. But yeah, 56k and you need a class B at least.

Interpretation for 395.8:

Question 26: If a driver is permitted to use a Commercial Motor Vehicle (CMV) for personal reasons, how must the driving time be recorded?

Guidance: When a driver is relieved from work and all responsibility for performing work, time spent traveling from a drivers home to his/her terminal (normal work reporting location), or from a drivers terminal to his/her home, may be considered off-duty time. Similarly, time spent traveling short distances from a drivers en route lodgings (such as en route terminals or motels) to restaurants in the vicinity of such lodgings may be considered off-duty time. The type of conveyance used from the terminal to the drivers home, from the drivers home to the terminal, or to restaurants in the vicinity of en route lodgings would not alter the situation unless the vehicle is laden. A driver may not operate a laden CMV as a personal conveyance. The driver who uses a motor carriers Commercial Motor Vehicle (CMV) for transportation home, and is subsequently called by the employing carrier and is then dispatched from home, would be on-duty from the time the driver leaves home.

A driver placed out of service for exceeding the requirements of the hours of service regulations may not drive a Commercial Motor Vehicle (CMV) to any location to obtain rest.

There is even an option on E-logs for personal conveyance when off duty . It doesn't even log miles driven on your log . The company does not how many miles you drive in that mode though . On paper logs just log it as off duty and don't count the miles on miles driven .
Your truck isn't laden just because it has tools on it .
