    You either entered the wrong info or misinterpreted the information.You are correct if you just use the truck . Hook to a trailer and you are over 10,000 lbs. GCWR and subject to FMCSR and will need MC authority .

    Agreed. Which is why I'll be filling out the forms for both a USDOT# and MC#. I don't right off the top of my head remember the form numbers.

    Now I need to look into the IRP and IFTA. Any thoughts?
