YES you can pull trailer with dual tandem wheels.
The sticky question is what is the weight capacity of the trailer? I have a dual tandem 20 foot flat bed with tilt and a winch, capacity is 19,000 lb. Payload plus trailer weigh to 19,000 lb. I have had it loaded to capacity and pull it with a Chevy 2500HD with Duramax--no problem.
As far as the CDL is concerned ti seems to depend on the state you reside in. In Virginia the number is total, tow vehile and trailer, 29,000 lb. and there is a length limit (which I don't remember). I have had zero problem with this trailer, the first couple of times I crossed the scales cause I thought I had to and there was NO issue. Then I stopped crossing the scales and again NO problem. I think it's because I'm pulling with a pickup.
I also have a 1994 F250 with the 7.3 and would willing to use that truck on this trailer just haven't spent the effort to get the gooseneck hitch.
