Tony, you only need CDL if your GVW is over 26,000 pounds, not what your weight sticker on your plates show. they look on your trailer for GVW and your truck and add together, Like truck 11,400 plus three axles on trailer 6,000 each totals 29,400 pounds. DOT is different story, It depends on the state you are driving in and how you have your vehicle registered, In Nebraska you have to register your truck commercial or farm, if you drive a dually the scale boys known your GVW is over 10,000 pounds and most states want you to weigh at weigh station`s. But i drive by most of them, if they want me they come get me. Oklahoma chased me down and gave ticket in my dually. Tom
