    I was wondering if some one can help me figure out if i need a cdl in CA for just hauling a single car trailer with a dodge 1500 pickup? Im just want to make a few more bucks per month as a side business. Any info would be helpful.

    Unless I'm mistaken you won't need a CDL unless you're hauling over 26,001 pounds.
    If you're looking to drive for hire you might need to look into commercial insurance however.

    I Would check with the State laws regarding that. The difference is you can pull personal property on a trailer without a CDL. Transporting as a form of Commerce is regulated by the DOT.

    Well, before you worry about that CDL, you need authority and all the fun that goes with it, as a side job, the insurance will cost you more than you can make, and that 1500 isn't going to cut it.

    I'd just get a part time job somewhere, you'll make more money that way.
