The big question I have is do the regs say you need a Class A CDL for a trailer over 10,000 pounds? I am strictly talking about weight here, not if it is commercial or personal use.
Looking at the Mississippi manual:
You must have a CDL if:
A trailer with a GVWR of more than 10,000 pounds if the gross combination weight rating is more than 26,000.
BUT, I have also seen it written elsewhere as: A combination weight over 26,000 pounds OR a trailer over 10,000. That would mean a 1/2 ton pickup with a flatbed trailer with two 5200 pound axles would need a class A CDL.
Of course that doesn’t help Dave any with his 24,000 GVWR trailer does it? ie it is based on GVWR not what it is tagged for?

Fellas,
I happen to be a DOT inspector. I have been following this thread with interest. If you have some questions, perhaps I can be of service. (Go ahead, turn up the heat.... I have my nomex underwear on..)
