The biggest problem is the state law and the federal law, if you just haul in your own state find out what the rules are so then if you end up in another state at least if you meet the rules in your state it might help.
My f-350 dually is licensed for 15,000 now as is the trailer but might bump it up next time, as long as I just would drive the truck I didn't have anyone ask about a dot inspection sticker in Minnesota, but when I put a trailer on the truck I had to have a valid inspection sticker on both truck and trailer, fire extuingisher and triangles, and a medical card.
As for the state law here if I drove by the scale without the trailer my licensed GVW is over 10,000 and would have to drive into the scale, but they can't really see the sticker on the plate as I drive by anyway and as long as there is no trailer they don't seem to care much, except for dipping the fuel tanks every chance they get to make sure I am not running off road fuel in the truck, when I have the trailer on I have sort of forgot to pull into the scale and have had them come out to visit with me, as for the guy talking about the class A license I never gave it much thought, had one for many years, but remember the trailer towing weight limits used to be on the back of the license card, looked yesterday and it's not there anymore, but would be nice to see what it is.
Just find out what your state requires and go on from there, have had many friends that were shocked to know some of the stuff, laughed at me with the dot sticker and he got tagged a month later for no valid dot inspection sticker on the rig......
