I got real familiar with Texas DOT regulations over the last couple of years, and I try to stay compliant and conversant with them.
The one simple rule to remember if you are hauling for hire is:
Under 26,000 running intra-state Texas you are NOT a commercial vehicle UNLESS you are hauling HHG or HAZMAT. If you are over 26,001 you must have a CDL regardless if you are hauling for hire or not.
If you cross a state line and are over 10,000 lb you ARE a commercial vehicle.

Much the same as Florida, with the addition of passengers to HHG and HazMat intra-state thing.

a household goods carrier not exceding 26000gvw (no airbrakes) does not require a cdl and is exempt from mc/usdot.
Thank you....I was not aware that you could haul HHG interstateunder 26K without a DOT/MC. Would you please provide the reference in the regulations so I could read it. |

Must be one of those updates in the "little green book" that happen so often  [/quote]
Actually, Before i got my CDL I worked for a local moving company (including driving the truck)and I know that they had TXDOT#, but I don't recall MC/USDOT... Of course we didn't cross state lines either...
