went to the mich.gov and re-read it carefully. Since I will be transporting"personal posessions" and/or the combined GVWR will be under 26,001# (14,000# trailer and 8600# truck = 22,600#) then I would not need a CDL. Many thanks for the lead!Per the SOS website:
Who Needs a Commercial Driver License (CDL)?
Any Michigan resident who intends to operate the following commercial vehicles is required to have a commercial driver license: Single Vehicles - Having a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR)* of 26,001 pounds or more. Combination Vehicles - Towing a trailer or other vehicles with a GVWR of 10,001 pounds or more when the gross combination weight rating (GCWR)** is 26,001 pounds or more. Gross Combination Weight Rating (GCWR) means the value specified by the manufacturer as the maximum loaded weight of a combination vehicle. In the absence of a label, the GCWR can be calculated by adding the GVWR of the power unit to the GVWR of the vehicle(s) or trailer(s) being towed. The following people do not need a CDL: Individuals: Operating motor homes or other vehicles used exclusively to transport personal possessions or family members, for non-business purposes.
