Default Re: At what point do you need a DOT# and a CDL?

Here is a how the rules can be a mess. I drive a commercial 20,000# truck, I have a medical card, no CDL, not needed. Do a local run for my boss, if you are within 150 miles {I think) of home base (place of work) you do not need to keep a log. So I know weigh station in NJ is open, but figure my truck is good because just passed PA inspection. Go through weigh station and pull me in. Feeling confident, officer looks over truck, all looks good except, uh oh, the crack in the windshield. Crack is below wiper on passenger side and is not in field of view so it passes PA inspection.

Get a ticket for $110.00. Boss says not worth fighting, pays ticket and fixes windshield because does not want hassle again
