The original subject was "Does a trailer over 10,000 lbs require a CDL".
I have a question about hauling a trailer under 10,000 Lbs. I was told and I found on the internet a while back that there was some kind of exemption from adding the GVW of the trailer to the GVW if the trailer fell below 10,000 lbs. Is this so? It sounded to me like if my truck has a 9,900 GVWR and the trailer was 9,900 then the CGVWR would just be the 9,900 of the truck, but if the trailer was 10,000 then you would add the two together to have 19,900 CGVWR.
I am just really needing to know what I need to do since my pickup is 10,100 GVWR and my new trailer has a 9,990 GVWR.
PLEASE HELP!
