If the truck is over 10,000GVW and being used in a commercial applications, the Feds require the driver to have a medical certification. This is why a lot of businesses won't buy a truck over 10,000GVW and why the mfgs, make the same truck with a lower certification. You're not in a commercial application, so the Feds don't care about you.
You don't need a CDL unless you're driving something over 26,000# in a commercial application. You're not over 26,000# and aren't in a commercial application. I don't need a CDL in my state for my tractor and lowboy trailer because I'm using it to haul my hunting toys, not commercially.
Some states might require an air brake certification, but your truck doesn't have air brakes.
