As long as the truck and the trailer GVWR add up to less than 26,000 you do not need a CDL
That is the GVWR that the data plate says, not what it actually weighs. -
You need a bed on it.
If you want to go over 65 feet total length then you need to remove the bed, and that changes he rules.Lite bug Thanks this. -
Isnt that what I said? As long as he is under 26k
-
This part is not true.Lite bug and 24kHotshot Thank this.
-
my bad. I typed that wrong.

I agree this answer is not correct.
Thanks for this clarification. The subtlety between sleeping as a team in an operating truck (which I can understand DOT rules for berthing) vs logging off and not operating is important.
Thanks a lot for this answer. -
I agree 100%. So, as far as you know, being chassis cab don't matter spit as long as the GVWR (and/or actual weight when weighed) of both truck and trailer is under 26k?
-
if its under 26k it doesnt matter.

I'm not sure about that, because I run a bed, and the guys I know that take the bed off run over 65 feet and were already CDL drivers.
I'm sure I read somewhere that taking the bed off makes it a truck tractor, but I don't know for sure that triggers CDL. I don't think so.
