1 ton and car trailer to save money.

I hope i am not on the same highway your going to be traveling, 1600 miles in 20 hours is avering 80mph, so to average that you will have to do 90. good luck with that

 

Are u required to run logs if driving a 1 ton pickup and 3-4 car trailer??

 

I have a 36k comb weight limit per vehicle specs, but I registered with a 40k IRP Just wanted to keep from toeing the line. Better safe than sorry. Big Country

 

yes, if applicable.

 

You will also require DOT and MC numbers a DOT physical and CDL for over 26001 lbs,(As of next year all DOT physicals will be computer based and access able to DOT anytime) you require a log book over 10000lbs. And towing a trailer will require inspections and weight checks, Remember at Weigh Stations they check your hours and logs plus the vehicle.
In the terms you have described you are classed as a Hot Shot, and all states are clamping down on them, with very heavy fines. As to a Sleeper, you have to have a DOT approved Sleeper/Pod even if your driving solo, or provide hotel receipts when asked.

If you do plan on doing this you may want to think about a bigger vehicle which will allow you to carry more and earn more, qualifications wise nothing I know of will change.......
