As far as going to a larger truck and a CDL. You can get something like a Freightliner FL or buisiness class truck, an F650 or equivilent without needing a CDL. As long as the weight rating does not exceed the Federal DOT requirement and you don't get air brakes, you will not need a CDL. My dad has a Freightliner FL50 with a 300 HP Cat engine. He ordered it and optioned it out the way he wanted it right from a dealer. The total cost was a slight bit above what a F450 would have cost and he got a better truck that can handle just about any trailer out there and stop it safely.
