I don't think you need a CDL to haul your own property. I have known people driving semi's get stopped and the cop told them they did not need a CDL when not hauling for hire. C stands for commercial, you are not commercial. A lot of people over think things. I have seen people on here say you can't use straps, you have to have 3/8 chains etc. I have driven a truck for over 25 yrs. When I hauled steel and machinery, I used 5/16 grade 70 chains. The federal law says the total rating of the tie downs must equal half the weight of the load. It don't specify straps or chains. Say a guy today with 2 coils held on with straps. I guessed he had aluminum. When I hauled aluminum they made you use straps, chains will damage it. I have not known of anybody getting a ticket for hauling their own stuff with out a CDL. I do carry a copy of the federal rule book in my truck and you need to know the rules, the police don't always know. I have had to point rules out to them before. I had an Indiana state trooper threaten to cite me for not having a log book 100 mile from home. The law says you don't need one until you exceed 150 air miles. I had to get my book and show him.

I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. Not a place one would associate with farms or farm machinery. I credit my parents for instilling a lot of good values, a respect for learning, a knowledge of various skills and a little knowledge of farming in me, amo
