[QUOTE=westtntrucker]as long as you stay under the "magical" 26001 pound GCVW you do not need a "CDL", your class c will carry you just fine as long as your not doing this for hire. [QUOTE]
Partly incorrect here. If your trailer gvwr is 10,001lbs or more you are required to obtain a class a license. the class c will not carry you. although each state might be diffrent but here in nc you would be stuck for sure. the only way you can get out of that is if your recreational. meaning a horse trailer or a camper and some cases a farmer. but here is where it get tricky. if you cross state lines with your trailer you will need a dot number, this is due to the trailer gvwr. also you need to pull into the weigh stations. if you go to 26,001 or more lbs you will need to apply for the fuel stickers and what a mess that is. bottom line is if you attempt to haul a trailer with a gvwr with 10,001 lbs or more you need a new license your classc will not carry you at all. And yes since you buy and sell a product and haul it that would mean you are comercial. ( they hire you to get the product)
