Not true. There is a Farm exemption.
As defined in 49 CFR 390.5, a “covered farm vehicle” (CFV):
•Travels in the State in which the vehicle is registered or in another State,
•Is operated by an owner or operator of a farm or ranch, or by a family member or employee of the owner or operator
•Transports agricultural commodities, livestock, machinery or supplies to or from a farm or ranch
•Has a license plate or some other means specified by the State that identifies it as a farm vehicle
•Is not used in for-hire motor carrier operations (but for-hire operations do not include use of a vehicle owned and operated by a tenant farmer to transport the landlord’s portion of the crops under a crop-share agreement)
•[From § 390.39] Is not transporting hazardous materials that require placarding, and either of the following:?Has a GVW or GVWR (whichever is greater) of 26,001 or less, in which case the CFV exemptions in § 390.39 apply anywhere in the United States
?Has a GVW or GVWR (whichever is greater) of more than 26,001 pounds and travels within the State where it is registered or, if traveling out of the State where it is registered, stays within a 150 air miles of the owner or operator’s farm or ranch
That is from the US DOT.
Now I would suspect that a 32 foot tandem duly trailer behind a 1 ton dualy is over that 26,001 combined rating. Hence the need for a CDL. Trailer like that alone should have a GVW rating around 20-24K pounds or so plus the rating on the truck. Most one ton dually's are rated at around 7K pounds. The DOT rules are confusing at best on the federal level. Add in state rules and your brain will fry! Ask 2 DOT enforcement officers the same question you'll get 2 different answers.

Today's Featured Article - Product Review: Black Tire Paint - by Staff. I have been fortunate in that two of my tractors have had rear tires that were in great shape when I bought the tractor. My model "H" even had the old style fronts with plenty of tread. My "L" fronts were mismatched Sears Guardsman snow tires, which I promptly tossed. Well, although these tires were in good shape as far as tread was concerned, they looked real sad. All were flat, but new tubes fixed that. In addition to years and years of scuffing and fading, they had paint splattered on
