class 8 truck private use

We are looking at buying a piece of machinery that happens to come with a 90's Freightliner tractor and drop deck trailer. This is a private purchase for private use in the family.
We would have to drive this across the country hauling a 35,000 pound implement on the trailer. What kind of headaches am I looking at? I do have class A license and good medical (I assume that the CDL is needed due to the GVW of the vehicle). I've read over some of the CMV laws and guidelines-- hoping for some advice.
Thank you

 

it's for pleasure. The main piece of this purchase is a military tank, the truck and trailer happen to come with it(we collect and restore various things of that nature). It is a light tank, 35k ish lbs and within legal dimensions.

 

I tend to agree. There is a lot of gray area here. The last thing I want is to get shut down at some scalehouse 2000 miles from home, with no company to back me up.

 

We would have uses for the truck locally if we got it home-- hauling things to parades, etc. It's an M18 Hellcat.
