You must have a CDL to operate:
• Any single vehicle with a gross vehicle weight
rating (GVWR) of 26,001 pounds or more.
• A combination vehicle with a gross combination
weight rating of 26,001 or more pounds, if
the trailer(s) has a GVWR of 10,001 or more
pounds.


Non-Commercial Driver License Class Codes

Driver License Class
You May Drive:
You May Tow:
Exceptions:
A
Any non-commercial vehicle
Any non-commercial trailer
Commercial Motor Vehicles Motorcycles

B
Any single or combination of non-commercial motor vehicles
Any non-commercial trailer
Commercial Motor Vehicles Motorcycles Combination of Class F (tractor) and Class G (trailer)

C
Any non-commercial combination of motor vehicles with a GVW less than 26,001 pounds
Any non-commercial
Commercial Motor Vehicles Motorcycles


You, to be legal, would need a Class A non commerical or a Class A CDL if it is reg as a commerical rig.
Most of the time you will never get stopped, You will also have to have a dot medical card.

If you travel alot, don't take the chance. It is still unclear about having to stop at the scales. I have not gotten an answer from MD DOT. I don't think they really know either.

Only if it has cooking, head, shower and sleeping capabilities.

Sounds like a bucket and a little butane stove and it's all set. Probably better to shower first...

Craig, just curious if you have any plans to change the exhaust?
I've heard that towing with stacks in the rain makes a mess out of the boat.

Already been taken care of. It seems that the first owner of this truck thought that the stacks were cool. The second owner towed horses and disconnected the stacks so the horses weren't high on fumes and diesel soot when they arrived where they were going. The third owner will leave it like it is.

Nice! Maybe switchable exhaust?
