All I can say is it is your duty to do things according to law. It is your duty to do the research and meet the requirements of your state, all other states will accept that. Only non-reciprocal rule I can think of is double towing.
In NY class D passenger is good for any non-commercial combination up to 26000#
If you have air brakes you must get a class C. Class C can be either a C CDL or a C with an R endorsement. Both cover the same equipment and limits,but an R endorsement prohibits commercial use.
