OK, I know we have been over this but I am still a bit unclear on what truck/ trailer combination requires a CDL.
I have a truck that has a GVWR of 11,500 on the inside door jamb. However, I believe I registered the truck at 13,500 just in case I ever had a full load.
I am interested in buying a trailer that has a GVWR of 14,000. That puts me at 25,500 (according to the door jamb sticker) - under the 26,001 that the feds mandate as needing a CDL correct?
The truck is registered commercial and I would plan on registering the trailer commercial. Does that have a bearing on it? Probably only doing intrastate hauling but if I went interstate with this rig would that require a CDL?
I have read so much info on this that mostly seems to be contradictory. I would like to get some input from some of you guys that have been through this and hopefully save myself a ticket.
The biggest reason I would like to avoid a CDL is the blood alcohol level of .04% - I like to have a beer or two in the evening.
