I would not believe everything you hear on a discussion board. Some people take a apple and turn it into a orange after it has been told several times.
Getting a CDL has always been a 26,000 lb limit. This applies to all interstate and intrastate movements unless you have a exemption and is governed by federal DOT law. All states are forced to comply. I have not heard of any changes in the works.
You need a DOT # on the truck if over 10,000 lbs. This applies to all interstate movements done by commercial trucks and intrastate hazmat haulers. The states are allowed to enforce or exempt other trucks that are used for intrastate movements only.

If you live in a green state; have a truck or combination that weighs over 10,000 loaded; and use it for a business; you need a DOT # even for intrastate movements.
