[QUOTE="Sawzall, post: 647414, member: 2724"] It is difficult to get straight answers about CDL requirements. If you read the info on TN DOT website it looks like a CDL is needed for a trailer over 10k. But TN troopers are also DOT officers. I called a 25+ year trooper recently and asked if I needed to get a CDL for the 35k GVW F750 that I am building with air brakes and 18k trailer. He said no since it would not be used commercially. He told me that I could use an 18 wheeler as a daily driver legally if I wanted. He said I should be legal crossing state lines but I know some states don't see it that way. I am still unsure if I will get a CDL. When I bought the Joint tags for my dually, the clerk said to cover the maximum combined weight and it didn't matter if it was over 26k. Just be sure that the total weight was not over the tag limit. I made several calls at that time and talked to the supposed "Expert" for the regulations at TDOT. He told me the same thing as my county clerk. [/QUOTE]
