[QUOTE="dcara, post: 748154, member: 473"] I know I saw a reference not to long ago (which I can't find now) about getting a ticket in Texas for not having a CDL if you were hauling over 10,000lbs. I might not even have the context completely right now too. Anyway, I found this decision tree at TX DPS site that I thought was informative enough to post. From this it seems the GVWR of the trailer plus truck must be over 26000 lbs, of which the trailer GVWR must be over 10,000 lbs before a CDL is needed. This presents some interesting combinations. My F250 with GVWR about 8800 lbs could haul a 15000 GVWR trailer without a CDL, but using a 15000 GVWR truck to haul the same trailer would require a CDL. There may be DOT considerations that come into play also which I haven't checked yet since my search for DOT stuff lead me to the DPS site.
