dot compliance

ED, a CDL covers everything, for a commercial operation except the Hazardous Materials endorsement, which is a total other issue when you carry fuel of a certain amount.

For a non commercial operation a non commercial Class A covers the dually and trailer. I am sure a 4500 dually and a 42 ft trailer goes over the 26,001 combined weight.
I have the Class B for my motor home and trailer less than 10,001 lbs GVW.

It really is confusing for people and what makes it worse is there are as many ideas on what the rules mean as there are police officers to try and enforce them.

My 2 Cents
