You may need to have a log book, if you want pm your phone # and I will try to explain.

Jack, call me, I have been thru all of this. Jeff helped me out, and I THINK that I have the answers. But when you run into Buford T on the side of the road there is nothing that will help until you get to court.

If the GVWR of the trailer is over 10,000 lbs, you technically need a Class A although on a 26' tandem axle I doubt you would be hassled.

Signage on the trailer will also be likely to garner more attention.

Captain, if either the GVWR of the dually or the trailer is over 10,000 lbs. you will need a CDL...you are hauling a vehicle up and down the highway and you are being compensated ....ie ....you are being paid to transport this vehicle....a vehicle that is not titled in your name.....As Painter pointed out, when Buford T Justice pulls you over the **** will hit the fan. After you play dumb and tell him you didn’t think that you needed a CDL you will need a FOLDER to put all the tickets in...He will park you until you locate a local driver with a CDL to drive your rig to the state line...Now, with all that being said....when you open the trailer door to show Buford T what you are hauling, there is the possibility he may drop to his knees and roll on the ground laughing his Azz off.......

Has anyone ever weighed a 26' trailer ?

It doesn't matter what it weighs, unless you reclassify it. The GVW is what they look at. The fact that you are being compensated for transporting this vehicle to and from events makes you commercial and all the rules apply. Log Book, or ELD, US DOT numbers, physical, drug card. same as OTR drivers. Limited driving time.............................................. .................................................. ....................
