A statef before it goes by manufacturer rating, not how you licensed it or actual weight a the time.
There are a lot of people buying 12-14k trailers and the dealer never tell them the law. Many cops do not even know the specifics of cdl issues.
The 26k does not apply to trailers, that is the beginning of cdl requirement for class b, straight trucks.
If you are engaged in commercial work you need a medical card, vehical really does not matter.
In Pa. A pickup with a 10k+trailer needs to be registered with a combination license, that may very by state and enforcement is random.
If your business is a farm, throw it all out and get on the farmes get special treatment bus.
