Any DOT officer can spot the problems a mile away.
99% of the 3 axle single trailers and 2 axle dually trailers require a CDL to pull them as they are all rated at 20,000+ just for the trailer. Most 2 axle single trailers will not require a CDL, since the combo is below 26,0000 most of the time.
8 bolt axles are 7,000 lbs each, 5 bolt axles are 3500 lbs, and 6 bolts are 5000 or 6000 lbs. Dual tire axles are 10,000 lbs. It is all pretty easy to add up and take a guess at total load.
If I was a DOT officer and an a$$hole, I would pull over every pickup with a heavy trailer and check for CDL. Because of the weight ratings on the 2009-2010 dually pickups, I would pull over every one of them with a tandem axle trailer, including bumper bulls. The new trucks are rated at 13,000 lbs or more, so even a 14,000 lb bumper pull trailer requires a CDL.
