Hey John, Indiana is the one you need to watch, very picky (trust me on that one). Can you license your towing vehicle in KY (if I remember you still have a farm here)? If you do and can keep some semblance of ag use a KY farm plate is good to 38K and trailer doesnt have to be tagged. The 26,000 CDL limit is for real on your combined vehicle weight if you go out of state, UNLESS you are within 150 miles of farm. I get stopped every time I go to Ohio (once a every other month to see a guy whose horses I board) b/c I dont have a plate on the trailer. DOT man has to calculate air miles (147.6 :-)), then sends me on my way. Indiana is very picky on inspections if you get stopped, I'd go with the new one. I cant remember the exact link but State of Indiana web site can eventually lead you to IN DOT and they have a very user friendly data base of laws. Only one I remember well is on brakes, if trailer is over 5000# they are required on the road regardless of what your state of license requires (KY if you dont have to plate the trailer you dont have to have brakes on it). If you've got a weighted plate in KY (your 14K) that's all you get for the truck/trailer combination (inc payload) and the trailer has to be plated.
