I'm in VA. You aren't commercial because you aren't doing anything that can produce income. You will register your truck and trailer just like any "normal" person would register any other truck or trailer.
However, If you have the vehicles registered to a business or lettered for a business or go to a competition where you can win money then you will be considered commercial and you would need a Class A CDL.
That would make sense to me. So, when I register my truck, I would register it for the highest weight below 26,000 lbs? This would only allow me to legally pull up to 12,000lbs? What if I want to put a 15,000 lbs trailer behind the truck? Would I register it for 30,000 lbs, for example? This would not interfere with any driver's license requirements, if you were pulled over? Thanks!
