I have a DOT number for the semis but I never put it on the pickups. I see the fellows from WI have them on their farm trucks pulling trailers. They also have a scale that they have to cross to get into Iowa. It is on the WI side.
So here is my issue. I finally got that Ford F350 dually on the road. It works great for pulling the gooseneck trailers. Just had it out twice so far. I want to be as legal as possible just to limit trouble. I want to license it for 16 ton weight. In Iowa that is easily done.
If I am driving it there is little issue as I have a class A CDL which I think is required because it is over 26K and is a combination vehicle. I really do not want to have to decal the truck with a Name and DOT number. I will always own the load and vehicle.
So am I required to have a DOT number???
Why do the WI guys have them??
Do I have to have IFTA as I will be going interstate and burn diesel???
IF the pickup is being driven without a trailer does the driver have to have a CDL ?? Example would be wife driving it. It would not be combination vehicle at that time but the license would still be for over the 26K.
Truthfully all the rules/laws are getting to the point we are just about a communist country by default.
ALL I want is a pickup/trailer that I can safely haul tractors on an is not a full size semi.

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
