In another thread that was getting stolen by the topic of the legal issues of hauling/trailering a big bolt.
Thought I would start another topic. (no I did not do a search cus, the laws change often)
The issue was, what are the laws of total weight of the towed trailer that is over 10,000#?
I have 24,000# farm tags on our 3/4 ton diesel and have a gooseneck trailer rated at 20,000#.

What is under state Laws and what is under federal laws?
Need a CDL?
RV/farm tags exempt?
Air brakes?
I do know, anything tagged for 26,000 or more need a CDL.

I don't mind to do short runs locally, but have been known to make runs well over the 10,000# on the trailer plus the weight of the tow vehicle, most of the way across Missouri.

Thanks for any input!
