Also keep in mind that when you go interstate the 26,000 lbs no longer applies. For commercial interstate use anything over 10,000 lbs combined vehicle weight rating requires a CDL.
In Minnesota and for Federal Interstate use the licensed weight rating is not part of the determination of a commercial vehicle. To determine if a vehicle or vehicle combination requires a CDL it has to first be used in commercial transportation. If it is determined to be commercial then the next step is to look at the manufacturers vehicle weight rating. If the manufacturers VWR can not be determined then the next step is to find the actual combined vehicle loaded weight.
The licensed weight rating is a state issue. If your weight is over what you are licensed for there may be a fine and/or other penalties but it does not come into play as far as CDL determination.
Minnesota took out the language dealing with trailer weights and exemptions under 10,000 lbs. If you have a truck rated a 24,000 lbs pulling a trailer rated at 3,000 lbs both vehicles will have to be inspected.
