I have my truck reg at 13000 and combinationed at 33000 per the Maryland and Pa DOT officer that I called. I don't need a DOT number or fuel sticker but was told I needed to stop at scales. I haven't stopped at any yet but I'm sure that I'll get pulled in one day. I have Class A CDL's and health card. If your not commerical you only need an A licence not a CDL but you need a health card. I want to comment on the farm trucks. In maryland you don't need a DOT if your hauling from the field to the farm. Where they get into trouble is when the go to sell at the grain bins. A lot of times the DOT will pull them over there because the are selling for profit. Whatever you read on the web doesn't matter when and if you get pulled over because if you ask 10 different DOT officers you will get 10 different answers. If you don't beleive me call different scales in your area and see all the different answers you get. One last thing I want to comment on is the Minn. rule that anything over 10001 has to have a DOT. I haven't checked with them but isn't that on state roads. I thought that federal hwy was above state law. That would be something to check on. Word to the wise If your going out of state with a personal truck I would check with the different states to make sure they will accept your state rules and try and have them email or fax you a letter saying your ok. I'v travel out of state and haven't had a problem but you never know what officer your going to run into.
