ELDs or Log books, hours of service, truck maint logs, Your CDL physical ( $200.00 and up ) . You can go through the same inspection port every day and in most cases the Inspections differ depending on who our what there are after that day!!!

I'm an owner operator and to speak on the IFTA part you are required to file a quarterly fuel tax report stating how many gallons of fuel you purchased in each state you drove in or through. If the states has the same fuel tax rate then you will not pay any extra just file the report and they will transfer the tax from the fuel you bought in one state to the other for the miles you ran in the other state, but if you buy fuel in a lower tax state and travel in a higher tax state you will have to pay the difference on the tax at the end of that quarter for the miles you run in that state. The mess you have to go through to haul commercially is ridiculous and if you ask 3 different people on what you need you might get 3 different answers, depending on there interpretation of the law.

But to be clear, a combination greater than 10,001 GVWR but UNDER 26,000 GVWR is NOT required to be associated with IFTA. Maybe I missed the Trooper's comments but I don't think he expanded on those specific details. The power unit having 3 axles is also a criteria that if met requires the vehicle to register through IFTA. So, Tim, if you want to avoid IFTA - you may look at downsizing your combination below 26K. You can avoid: IRP, CDL, IFTA. You still must follow all other pertinent regs as the Trooper described. Much less hassle though.

Have question. Because the Weight class of a vehicle has nothing to do with commercial. Commercial applies if the vehicle is making money. The weight class of a vehicle has more to do with the class of your drivers license. That’s where non-CDL license and CDL license come in to play. Because here’s an example you can have your regular class C license drive a vehicle that weighs no more than 3000 pounds but because you’re using it to make money to escort oversize trucks you are required to have a DOT number on the side of it. PS and in New York you have to have a escorting certificate to be legal to escort oversize vehicles as well as a DOT number. And because you have that DOT number you still have to log your mileage and state lines log your hours.

They call it reciprocity. So if you are legal in your state regarding the license, then other states reciprocate. So even if another state has more stringent license seen they will accept your out of state license. S4 as transporting your own property, where it gets interesting is they will look to see if you are what they consider a business enterprise. That is to say even though its property you own, if you are making money from it they will consider it an enterprise. If you are moving your own personal goods like your furniture, or your dirt bikes because you're going somewhere to ride them then they don't hassle you. Lately they have been cracking down on race car owners and people that do horse races. I can't tell you the exact details regarding who is right and who is wrong. However the debate with that kind of goes like this: If you take a race car or a horse to an event where there is prize money then it is no longer a hobby. Some have said one of the questions surrounds whether or not you are riding off the expense on your tax returns as a business loss for expense. This of course somewhat means it's a business enterprise right? Again, I'm not taking sides on that because I don't know the actual details of where they draw the line. I'm just stating the debates I have heard.

IRP plares=$2000. UCR=$60 minimum, 2290 IRS heavy highway usage tax=$550. IFTA=taxes quarterly for miles and fuel burned in each state-they all get some of that pie. Local drug screening consortium $220 for solo O/O. Commercial carrier insurance with excellent credit score and driving record=$1000 month with 25% upfront . MC /DOT numbers-I believe it was $300 to file-itntrastate MC/DOT numbers were free in Florida. BOC 3 filing was free If i remember right. Then theres separate quartly tax filings for Kentucky, Oregon, new Mexico and new york based on equipment value, miles driven and weight. Income tax quartly if you want to pay yourself. Then theres tires, brake pads and parts, fuel and fluids, log books and office supplies, don't forget to do your laundry and try to eat healthy. Good luck tim

A question that comes to mind, do you have to have a CDL to operate a commercial truck with DOT numbers? Suppose you have a truck like TTWT's and it is not being used for commercial purposes i.e. his wife is driving to the store, does she need a CDL?

I have a 3500 dually I use to pull my skid-steer. its on a trailer rated at 17000llbs. the skid-steer with bucket weighs 12000lbs. this is really my personal wheelbarrow since I've had 3 back surgeries. the only time its put on the trailer is to take it in for service. I've never made a dime with it. I wonder where this falls according to the law. I'm a retired pipe welder.

If you are a new commercial semi owner. I am not but have been curious about this forever. Do you have to have an IFTA sticker on the semi for every state you travel in or just a sticker from your home state? The truck would be a mess of green stickers and no room for the name of the company if you had to put the IFTA on there for every state you travel through.

My understanding is a truck, even with a GVWR greater than 10,000 lbs., does NOT require a DOT number if it isn't being used to haul for conpensation or hire. It's confusing because most states require pickup trucks to display "commercial" license plates. But that doesn't make them a commercial vehicle for DOT registration requirements. Same words, different meanings. The DOT requirement clearly states, over 10,000 lbs GVWR AND ... "when being used for compensation or hire". Clear as mud.

Depending on your state you may not need a DOT number need until 26k GVWR until you try to cross a state line then its 10k GVWR. The laws on this are way too complicated and not very clear about including RVs. If you own a semi-truck for personal use that weights $80k lbs, do you need a DOT number and Class A CDL?

It is. The truck has to be used in the furtherance of a Commercial Enterprise. If you are using it for private purposes and not making money with it you do not have to do any of this. Read 49 CFR. Now if your towing a horse trailer and getting paid to transport someone else's horses like you see on Craigslist all the time, Yes these rules apply to you. No you can not declare your a farm vehicle because your transporting someone else's horses.

Trooper Hoover stated in the previous video that you would be considered commercial if using the vehicle was your "primary source of income", not true! If you are towing ANYTHING that can or does make you money, according to the trooper that pulled over my buddy with a horse trailer, then you are required to have a CDL and DOT numbers on your vehicle. That trooper did not mention if the power unit was over 10,001 or not , but if the combined weight is over 26,000, potential, then you are also required to have the previously mention license and numbers. You could have a 9,800# truck and a 17,000# RATED trailer, even if it's empty, and need the CDL.

It’s always a great idea to know your gross weight, and if you are registered and legal to pull that amount of weight.

I am looking to start a car, motorcycle and cargo transporting business. I plan to use an aluminum trailer rated 10,000 lbs. The GCVWR of the truck is 20,500 lbs. I will be based in Alabama but I may travel to MS, TN, KY, NC and SC. Do I need the DOT stickers? Do I need to stop at weight stations?

In my opinion that's a lot for a small enterprise using the same type of equipment that an ordinary citizen could be driving especially when you consider that a hotshot driver is a solo operation and already has a ton of expenses to deal with. However I do understand these regulations on large semi trucks as they are a large outfit usually and those things aren't directly coming out of the driver's pocket plus those larger trucks are way more likely to cause serious damage and death if involved in a crash

If all your circuits are resetable breakers then no you don't have to have any fuses. But make 100% sure, and know the location of the breakers on the vehicle.
