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

Please keep in mind that it is federal law enforced by state authorities and each state seems to have their own take on the law. There is a provision in the law that allows someone that does this as a hobby and pays taxes like it is a hobby to get by without the cdl if they meet the rules Jman laid out. Applies to boats, horse trailers and racers. Kansas is short of money and made life miserable for dirt track racers for a while but have backed off somewhat.
Just my .02.
