Do yourself a favor and visit the DOT website and read the regulation governing CDL licensing. You do NOT need a CDL to drive your own non-commerical truck with a GVW under 26,001 lbs. New 3/4T HD trucks with diesel engines are rated to tow 19,000lbs; older models are less. Where you run out of truck is the actual load carrying capacity of the truck itself. The pintle hitch will quickly overload the rear axle. I would hire the trailer and load towed that many miles, or - buy an older single axle semi-tractor(much cheaper than a pickup ~$5K), weld on a pintle hitch and hit the road.
