Im new to the forums and thanks in advance to anyone that can give me a hand.
I am a sales rep for a local equipment dealer and we have come up with a lot of different opinions on what is legal for me to haul but I have been searching online for hours and have read through a few books but nothing is clear on what I specifically am supposed to do to legally haul a piece of small machinery.
My info
2012 F250 Powerstroke 10,000 gvw w/ a tandem 14,000lb GVW trailer that is bumper pull
The largest machine that I have the ability to haul puts me at a total weight of under 24,000lbs using CAT certified scales.
Here is my question, I am under 26k lbs so I am not "commercial" but I do drive a commercial vehicle for a dealer so what am I supposed to have/do to be legal?
I never cross state lines and my hauls are usually within 150 miles of our store.
I have heard that I do/dont need a CDL, that I do/dont need a log book, triangle, fire ext., etc etc etc.
With even our company being on the fence about what can/cannot be done and the ODOT/ODPS having the inability to give good online resources I want to make sure that I am legal to not only protect myself but also to protect the company I work for.
