Re: DOT feedback Re: weight, CDL, and registration
[/ QUOTE ]I think someone better read their post and the dmv. If the trailer is under 10000 you need a class B if the trailer is over 10000 then you need a class A CDL. You stated my truck 11400, trailer 12000. so is 12000 greater than or less than 10000.Is 10400 greater than 10000 or less than. this mew math is killin me.

If the trailer is over 10,000 you do need a class A CDL in that statement you are partially correct. The part you forgot though is the tow vehicle has to be rated for 26,001 pounds or more GVWR.
Therefore if I am driving a vehicle that has a GVWR of 26,000 pounds or less I do not need a CDL of any class even if I am towing a trailer that has a GVWR of 10,000 pounds or more.
As I stated earlier if I was to hitch my 10,400 GVWR trailer to my work truck then I would need a class A cdl because the work truck has a GVWR of 32,800. Being that my private truck has a GVWR of 11,000 I do not need a CDL even if my 10,400GVWR trailer is hitched to it.
So what are the laws in Texas?
