I try and give accurate info and non commercial just does not have to follow DOT regs for commercial carriers. I have seen many class 8 tractors converted to pull a 5W. Class B license is required if 1 vehicle is over 26K or pulling over 10K. My heavy class 8 Western Star was just under 23K with full 300 gal tanks. I suspect you would need a class B license and may need air brake enforcement. I would have to research the brakes issue.
I'll be getting my CDL anyways, as part of my travels will include driving wheat, corn, or cattle trucks either for the farmers/ranchers themselves or for custom haulers or harvesters. If they're custom, then I'll need a CDL as they have to play by DOT and FMC rules as they are for hire.
