Stupid Question: Not For Hire?

Or in Texas....

 

A unlaiden single vehicle at or above 26k requires a cdl. A combination with a trailer with the capacity of 10k. Loaded or not require a cdl. But not operating for hire, your not required to have a operating authority. Period.

You need a cdl for the truck you are displaying.

 

Do you stay out of states that require you to have a cdl?

 

It varies from State to state.

 

Yes, it does. I could be wrong. Thought he stated that he crossed state lines.

I could be wrong.

 

I do not need a cdl and can drive in any state.

I’m not ag except so that’s not the angle here.

 

Ok
When you get in trouble, hire a lawyer if you can afford one..

 

I’ve driven this rig through a lot states and am legal. I don’t need a lawyer

Again, you have to stop thinking I am doing anything commercially. I don’t haul any freight what so ever. This is a converted trailer into living quarters...consider it a tiny home. I have been stopped at plenty weigh scales in quite a few different states. I am legal.

 

As previously explained in FMCSA’s regulatory guidance for § 383.3, question 6, drivers of vehicles used strictly for non-business purposes do not need a CDL unless the state of licensure requires it.

 

Yep...and in my case I am licensed in Ohio and it is not required. For my particular situation whatever state I am in my home states requirements are what applies.
