Traditional Farmer said: (quoted from post at 21:01:03 05/06/10) You need to read the law.#1 Motor homes do not carry a gross weight desination like a truck and are exempt.#2 Any vehicle that is licensed over 10,000lbs F250 and F350 included are required to have a US DOT number if they cross state lines.In PA if your truck is licensed over 17,000
the driver has to have a medical card and carry a log book.Lots of these laws have been around awhile just not enforced.VA,WVA,MD and PA are enforcing them now.
You said every vehicle over 10,000lbs. EVERY vehicle has a GVW tag. Stop quoting that you know the law. It is just this type of BS that muddies the water and creates confusion.
Read the LAW below and tell me how by your reasoning that Joe Blow driving a F150 towing a boat is required to have a DOT number.
Pay considerable attention to "Interstate commerce"
Commercial Motor Vehicle (49 CFR Part 390.5)
Commercial motor vehicle means any self-propelled or towed motor vehicle used on a highway in interstate commerce to transport passengers or property when the vehicle:
1. Has a gross vehicle weight rating or gross combination weight rating, or gross vehicle weight or gross combination weight, of 4,536 kg (10,001 pounds) or more, whichever is greater; or
2. Is designed or used to transport more than 8 passengers (including the driver) for compensation; or
3. Is designed or used to transport more than 15 passengers, including the driver, and is not used to transport passengers for compensation; or
4. Is used in transporting material found by the Secretary of Transportation to be hazardous under 49 U.S.C. 5103 and transported in a quantity requiring placarding under regulations prescribed by the Secretary under 49 CFR, subtitle B, chapter I, subchapter C.
As far as medical PA law cannot decrease federal law. Federal law dictats a medical certificate for a vehicle over GVW or GCW of 10,000 lbs

Today's Featured Article - A Belt Pulley? Really Doing Something? - by Chris Pratt. Belt Pulleys! Most of us conjure up a picture of a massive thresher with a wide belt lazily arching to a tractor 35 feet away throwing a cloud of dust, straw and grain, and while nostalgic, not too practical a method of using our tractors. While this may have been the bread and butter of the belt work in the past (since this is what made the money on many farms), the smaller tasks may have been and still can be its real claim to fame. The thresher would bring in the harvest (and income) once a y
