Getting a CDL drive my own truck to haul my own stuff

Where on the earth are you located? I just got my class a cdl in Texas without a full time school.

 

well that all depends on what state ur in and what other states ur gonna 2 work in, where im at u don't need a cdl if on a farm or own ur on own truck and only use it for hauling ur trailer if it is used 4 storage, but on side of truck u have 2 have not 4 hire and and personal use on side of it, u don't have 2 go 2 trucking school 2 get a cdl, but is better if u don't anything about them if anything u'll come out book smart from 1, if u dont go 2 a school u need book then take written test and then ur gonna need a truck and trailer 4 test and will have 2 pass a pre inpestion b4 u can even drive it 4 ur test

 

In TX and AZ that I know of, you can rent truck and trailer for about $275 through some local 3rd party schools/test sites to do the tests. Look at craigslist or google all that to find em. But you need to be able to do the pretrip, skills and road tests of course.

 

I think as you're hauling your own stuff, you won't need a Motor Carrier number. You have everything else I guess.

 

This was brought up on another site, it depends on what you mean by your own stuff?

If you mean that you are taking equipement to a site to setup and work, then you need to call each of those states that you are going to and ask them.

If you mean that this is stuff you made and sold to customer's in other states, then you may be a carrier, because the property isn't yours once it is sold, so you may been to be a carrier.

 

Then obtaining insurance for your rig probably isn't feasible, either. Do you have a maintenance facility and a qualified mechanic on staff? http://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/regulations/title49/section/396.19

Do you feel prepared to dive into the ocean of trucking regulations? As deep and wide as it is, people still hit their heads on the bottom.
