[QUOTE="stocky, post: 970669, member: 1150"] Arkansas, there is alot of confusion and misinterpretation on those laws. The guy who I bought these cows from had a F-350 pickup and used his 24 foot cattle trailer. The cattle were various sizes and weighed a total of 7500 lbs. He went to the Wyoming DOT and they told him he had to have a CDL, fuel permits, and various travel papers for the cattle to go from Wyoming to Missouri, 850 miles. He had to hire a driver to drive his own rig and deliver his own cattle. There are also people who are using the 150 miles from home limit as the law for needing a CDL. I have a neighbor, who, a while ago bought a mixer/grinder in Missouri, where he lives, but it was 250 miles from home. He got stopped and got a huge ticket because he was over 150 miles from home with no CDL for a 1 ton pickup and 20 foot flatbed hauling his own farm machinery. He is waiting to fight this one in court. I think it depends on who happens to stop you as to what they are going to try to do. I sell my cattle 65 miles from home (in Harrison, Ar) and cross a state line to get them there, but I still have gotten conflicting answers when I talk to the various state officials (in Missouri) about what I need for my 1 ton (13000, lb gvw) pickup and my 24 foot (8,200) lb trailer with 24,000 lb tags on my pickup as far as hauling to Harrison or even hauling my own cattle over 150 miles.
