Sir - You are a scholar and a gentleman!
That is what I was searching for after seemingly having determined that the rumor is quiet in Ms.
Unfortunately for me it seems several states on my routes from Mississippi to Vermont and anticipated side trips require something special.
- CT - Class 2 license required for trailers above 10,000 lb GVW
- MD - Above 26,000 lb GVW requires non-commercial Class A or B
- NC - Above 26,000 lb GVWR or GCWR requires non-commercial Class A or B
- NY - Above 26,000 lb GVWR requires "R" endorsement.
- PA - Above 26,000 lb GVWR or GCWR requires non-commercial Class A or B
- SC - Above 26,000 lb GVW requires Class E or F
It looks like I might need 2,B,A,R,F licenses to be safe, but because of non reciprocal agreement might get by with nothing.
/edit - and If I understand y'all right, since MS doesn't require anything when I'm pulling my 30,000 GCVR setup the LEO can pull me over, confiscate all my equipment, throw me in jail overnight, but not enforce it after they determine I was actually right,
But nothing due to it being a dually.

HEHE I'm gonna throw a little gas on this fire
In New york almost all pick up trucks (even 1/2 ton) are registered with the DMV as a commercial vehicle yet you don't need a CDL to drive it. IMHO some P/U trl combo's should be required to have a cdl) but that's beside the point here
-
Ditto in California ..... every p/u I've ever owned has the Cali "commercial registration fee" attached to it and ... a different format plate from the cars.
Also you need a CDL for anything over 25,999#
and....... we have special licensing ("non-commercial" class A & B) for some of those combos.
.............. Jim -
I would advise you to call Mississippi DOT.

If you are licensed in Vermont and legal there for the combination you drive, other states will honor your Vermont license under the Drivers License Compact as all states are signatories of the agreement. As previously stated in this thread, some states do require non-commercial CDLs.
All states currently based the determination for CDL on the gross weight RATING. However, I have heard that there is a move afoot at the Federal to add the actual combination weight too. That would close the door on the folks operating vehicles "de-rated" to 25,999 pounds, but that actually weigh 32,000 pounds.
Also, as previously stated here, the best weigh to get the straight scoop is to call Mississippi. For example, if you have an Oregon question, drop me a line. I work for OR DOT in size and weight enforcement. I have regulated trucks for 28 years now, 17 as a Fed.
