On the bright side - this can be you each morning:

I've heard the 10k trailer thing a couple times but every time I've used the TX dps website to determine if I need #s and A CDL it says no..... Truck is 12k gvwr trailer is 14k. Registered commercial with commercial insurance. No numbers and don't plan to get em. No other welder around here has em either. Keeping up with DOT requirements would make me find another line of work.

Sometimes it’s asking a question you don’t want to know the answer to, but I’d talk to the troopers as they’re the pros in enforcing those laws. Definitely wouldn’t take it out of state though.

I did once and all they ever said was 26k. It was a commercial enforcement unit also. I think I'm good. Out of state is a big no no. I don't think I can technically even take just the truck itself out of state.

BTW, when I checked the hours-meter for my 2012 (bought new by me) Ram, it is over 3200 hours... That's 1.5 work YEARS... that I have spent towing, plowing and generally long-trip driving. So I better like what I get. I had never added up the hours before. That's a lot of driving! I know... compared to you long-haul trucker-guys, not much. But, still. that's 5 months, 24x7 in a truck in just 7 years. Wow.

Account rant told me I needed to depreciate another truck.. combined with endless minor sensor and electrical codes that are annoying g as hell. And I live in vt so after 7 years it’s about to dissolve. Right now, rust free spotless. 25k trade but could have done better private sale IF I had wanted to deal with every fu(&wit, scammer and “would you take my weed whacker and 200 pounds of catfish in part trade and accept this post dated check from my third party Nigerian bank” woodchuck. Trade took 5 minutes.

Cheers, Sirhr

Putting “not for hire” stickers may help. I have those on my car trailer.
