    Do what you want/need to do. Don't miss an opportunity to give back over some legal ########.

    Now there are gonna be horror stories of what if etc. If you live in the fear of what if.........you will never accomplish anything

    Some managers will limit or ask, they know the laws and regs. Even if they lift hos restrictions, there are a bunch who don't want people to burn themselves out.

    Just in general, that's worth repeating.

    Yes No No No.
    Needing a CDL and driving a CMV are two different things, yes.
    Just because you vehicle is over 10K lbs doesnt mean you are suddenly in a CMV and working for a carrier.
    A vehicle under 10k can still qualify as a CMV depending on its use.
    At 26001 lbs, your license will need to be upgraded to atleast a class B license. Again, depending on the vehicle you are driving, it can be a non-commercial license.
    There is such a thing as non-commercial class A license. Those are like what firefighters have to drive the trucks. What these guys out there with the monster toyhauler trailers SHOULD have, etc.

    Since the op was asking about a commercial venture, I was correct in all cases in answering him.
    Yes there are times you are correct, but not for the question asked.

    Or you know, actually answering the question asked and not confusing someone with irreverent.

    And just ask Intel, 2+2 does equal 5, but only for very high values of two. :) (An old Intel CPU bug joke)

    Agreed. But I responded to you, and I dont think that was even an answer to the OP's question. So, before I bow out of this enlightening conversation, I just want to make sure I understand the rules that I guess apply to me only. I can only respond to the OP and not any other post. Is that correct? Thanks for clarifying.
