Towing Legally?
Hello,
I am looking to purchase a 14,000K dump trailer to tow with my 2002 PSD Dually rated at 11,500K, am I legal to tow this in NJ, NY and PA with a class D auto license?
Thanks,
Steve

Each state has its own laws. start with your state first.
All states generally abide by the class of license and what that license will allow but you still have to follow the laws of the road itself.

Here in Cal, anything over 10k with a bumper pull or 15k with a 5th wheel, requires either a class A, commercial or non commercial license. It varies by state.

In PA, out of state setups like yours will need to be under the rated capacity of the axles. And if you are over 26k, you need a CDL. Weigh stations in PA are generally just for commercial vehicles.

Yes. In every state you list as well as every other state.

As I stated above, "Here in Cal, anything over 10k with a bumper pull or 15k with a 5th wheel, requires either a class A, commercial or non commercial license. It varies by state."
It depends whether it's a bumper pull trailer or a gooseneck/5th wheel type. If bumper pull, it's not legal here in Cal with a passenger class C or D license.
