Yss they do need a CDL if the truck is hauling for compensation even if it's a1/2 ton and they do need a Liscense from DOT & DOT inspection + state inspection to haul including 1 million $ worth of liability and a relatively clean inspection record + a relatively accident free record over 3 years to haul. Must either log on paper for have electronic logging. I used to haul trailers and boats so I'm pretty sure I know the rules for Commercial vehicles. If you go past the scales in KY with a 1 ton they will come after you and see if you own the trailer or not, saw them stop 2 at once. Most never pull over 65 because it's a safe speed and above 65-67 fuel consumption goes up rapidly, just try it. My truck will do around 95 so coming home ety I run 75. I also carry 129 gallons of fuel, enough to get me from Oklahoma to N VA on 1 fill passing all the hi $ fuel stops in mid states. Going to NY from VA next then from VA to OK, NM, CO, and then back to VA.
