Yes, those are the places to ask, but don't be surprised if you get four or more answers from three places.
Here in Maine, I had a few questions, just because they require commercial plates on my p/u because it is rated for over 8k. My combined weight ratings leave me below CDL limits.
We register our vehicles at the town office, which is where the commercial issue came up in the first place. One set of answers there.
I happened to be over in the seat of the neighboring county where there is a full-time DMV office (my county's is part-time). Asked the same questions there. Whole different set of answers.
Got talkin' to a state trooper. Tossed the questions to him. Different answers yet. He allowed as how DOT guys might have a better answer to a couple of the questions.
So one day I'm out in the car and see the diesel bears gettin' ready to open up the scales, so I pull in to check with them. They were good about it, but it was a good thing I was in my car. They might have red-tagged me and written $2000 worth of tickets if I'd pulled in with my p/u and gooseneck.
DMV said no DOT# required as long as I'm loaded with my own stuff. Trooper agreed, DOT disagreed and the town clerk didn't know. Everybody except DOT agrees that it's alright to transport an un-opened six-pack of beer home in my p/u with the commercial plates. There were others, but those were two seemingly simple questions, and the answers were all over the board.

I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
