Should you get a truck or hire a semi????????
That depends on how much hauling you would want to do. As stated before a 14,000 lb load is going to take at least a 20,000 GVW trailer.

So now that the trailer and load are set you need to see what size truck will handle this.
I looked at This site on ford trucks. As you can see there is only one truck listed that is recommended for a 20,000 lb trailer. It is a F550 with a GCWR of 30,000 lb.

Now that puts you over the federal limits for a CDL of 26,000 lbs. So now you will need a CDL and all that comes with.
