[QUOTE="Oldfart, post: 3800107, member: 64407"] State laws are different and you are SUPPOSED to adhere to the laws in each state when you cross the lines but that is always a gray area. Certain states allow 15 yr olds to get a license to drive. When they cross into a state that requires you to be 16, are they in violation of that state law? No because they have a valid license in their state. I pull an open trailer with my car on it to other states for car shows. My state does not require a tag on my trailer as long as the tow vehicle is properly tagged. I have been pulled over a few times in other states and have been told to get a trailer tag. I now carry a copy of my states requirements in my glovebox to show I am in compliance in my home state. I see many big rigs at these car shows with huge camper bodies pulling 48 ft trailers. They think by putting "Private Coach, Not For Hire" decals on the side they are exempt from the scales and DOT rules. Let the wrong officer see you blow by the scales and they will find out different. As far as CDL's. Some states have a Class A, B, C. Had a fella in class a few weeks back with a Class D, 1st I have seen. He pulled a 32ft trailer without airbrakes at a previous job. As far as duallys. The original CDL requirement did include a dual wheel vehicle. I believe it was also weight related so to not require a person who drives a dually 1 ton personal vehicle would not be affected.
