John in La said: (quoted from post at 22:33:35 12/07/13) You have contradicting terms in your post so answer a few questions.
You say "hauling my own stuff" so that only means you are a private carrier. They still need DOT #'s.
Then you say "I'm not in business".
How do you mean this. "I am not in the trucking business" OR "I am not a business and only haul my camper; 4 wheeler; around".
The rules are.
You are a business AND
You can weigh 10,001 lbs AND
You cross state lines OR you do not cross state lines but live in one of these 29 states.
Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.
If you can answer yes to these 3 questions you need a DOT #.
Remember farms; lawn service; or seller is a business.
Now some of the 29 states above may exempt different business that only travel intrastate (in state) from some or all of the rules. You need to ask your state that. This could be the farmer exemption rrlund is talking about for his state.
I should have clarified that my comment was for two different items. First was the CDL that I have for working for someone else. Second is for my pickup and goose neck which I haul my own tractors with. I'm not in business, and am hauling my own tractors, and can go over 10001 pounds. Now, I can give you the phone number to Washington DC DOT that I called. I knew I would get an argument out of it, that's way I called them to start with.

Today's Featured Article - A Lifetime of Farm Machinery - by Joe Michaels. I am a mechanical engineer by profession, specializing in powerplant work. I worked as a machinist and engine erector, with time spent overseas. I have always had a love for machinery, and an appreciation for farming and farm machinery. I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. Not a place one would associate with farms or farm machinery.
