OHIO - Weight capacity, need CDL?

[Knocker of rock]

Not in Alabama and the State has to go by the min Fed. standards. It's still the truck or the combination weight, truck and trailer over 26,001 with a trailer 10,001 pounds or greater or a truck with a GVW of 26,001 or greater pulling a trailer 10,0001 or greater.

A 14k trailer and 11K truck = no CDL here.

i think he will need a cdl last time i weighed my set up i believe i was a bit over 27k and i have basically the same set as him although i think my newer backhoe is a bit heavier than the older cases it will still be close

i have your same set up pretty much truck wise with a 25ft triple axle gooseneck ill post a pic from today where i was working at i had to unload on the side of the road. ive been stopped before by dot and i have yet to be questioned about the weight, my trailer is rated for 18k and my 310sj i would estimate to be around 15-16k

Nice set up you have with this picture. I like the ford.
