    I think you mean intrastate (staying in the same state).. I'm pretty sure once you start crossing state lines (interstate) medical kicks in. In my state they require a medical regardless..

    I see there is intrastate excpted and interstate excepted.

    Interstate excepted - crossing state lines but only hauling personal property.

    I pull a living quarters horse trailer.

    My dad had a class A to pull his 5th wheel but it wasn't CDL...in NC.

    I have the full CDL A with DOT medical.

    The way its been explained to me in NC is need a class A to pull a trailer over 10,000 lbs and truck needs to tagged for total gross weight of truck and trailer.

    Only time needed for CDL is if making money hauling.

    Another thing to consider would be insurance.

    If not licensed properly and get in an accident, will insurance cover?

    I have heard both ways on the 10k trailer thing.

    Its all in what trooper you seem to get.

    I currently have my truck combo registered at 26,000 lbs with a class 8 weight sticker.

    I want to get the cdl vs non cdl class A so if need be I can fall back on hotshot work in the future.

    Like you said about insurance. If you get in a wreck and there is a fatality and they find out you don't have the correct license that could go really bad.

    I have medical exempt due to not driving commerical.

    It all depends on what trailer your pulling.

    For TT it will go by what your state requires. In Texas to pull a 5th wheel TT you are looking at a AorB non CDL.

    I think all states should go by weight.

    Some states will let you pull a 5th wheel TT and GRW is over 26k on a car license.

    I have always thought was wrong.
