More Questions For Officer Dave

You will need a DOT number with you crossing the state lines. "Intrastate vehicles used exclusively for private farm operations are exempt from obtaining a US DOT number, however, if you DO cross the state line (interstate) you are required to obtain and display a US DOT number."

I have been told that I need a CDL to cross the state lines because it is over the 10,000 pounds even using the trailer for above use.

CDL = No.

would like to know if I really need the CDL or the DOT for my ton pickup.

For the 1 ton = yes if its pulling a trailer. You will be over the weight of 10,000.
Also if you need further make contact with Dee at the Fort Wayne State Police Post. She is a master motor carrier officer and instructor. 260-432-8661.
