As others have said check things out. A while back I believe you were talking about getting farm tags for your truck. I expect that will not work (at least legally if you get checked) hauling for hire. Different vehicle inspection levels may apply, DOT commercial inspection vs state inspection (for farm trucks here). A CDL is not required for farm trucks, but is required over 26000 lbs. on commercial plates here, that varies in some places and what is being hauled. You may need to have a current DOT physical (done by approved DOT examiner). Insurance will be different. Possible log book and record keeping depending on where you travel. You may want to operate as an LLC. Its not as simple as having your farm truck and saying I can haul that for you; if you are going to do it legally. Its not impossible to do but you need to do the proper research by checking with the agencies. Good faith answers given here may or may not be right for your location and situation. Check for yourself the FDOT, State regulations, insurance, finances, and if you plan to seek loads (business plan). How steady a business will be depends a lot on the operator of the business. Someone wants a load hauled and you have hay to make; how are you going to handle it? What is the competition in your area, several ramp trucks? How will they react if you try to slide under the radar and take business from them? What will you offer that others don't? Real life things to think about.

Today's Featured Article - Talk of the Town: Winterizing Engines - To Drain or Not to Drain? - by Russ Berry. What is this strange attraction I have to equipment and machinery? How did I get this way? I came from the suburbs and own a small horse farm in rural Loudoun County, Virginia. You can call me a "weekend farmer." The local farmers do. Does it bother me? No. I am just happy to have their friendship. At least the word "farmer" is in my title. But what is the attraction? How can I explain the sensation and exhilaration I feel when I turn the key and hear the engine come to life (most
