Maybe just a California thing but CDL is required to tow over 10k unless it's a recreational trailer...
So towing my 3 axle boat trailer OK but towing my 8500lb tractor on a 2500lb tractor not ok.
Same rule applies in Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas, Tennessee, North Carolina and Louisiana. I pull a trailer that is over 10K and have checked with these states before I went driving into them. Now, I actually don't need to worry about it, but I wanted to know how I would be handled if I got stopped in a state I was planning on driving in. I drive an OTR semi for a living, been in and out of most of the states since they went over to CDL's.
