I have spoken with our local DOT. He stated that if the truck had air brakes and was operated in the state of GA, I would need a CDL to operate no matter what we used the truck for, or how it was registered. He also said that it didn't matter if the truck was lettered or not. I really don't think that I want to go through all this trouble to go racing 5 or 6 times a year. I think that I am going to sell the truck, and trailer and buy a motorhome, and tag trailer. I think that I could get by the DOT with that type setup. I have basically put a target on my own back by speaking to my local DOT man, as he stated that he would be watching for my truck, and trailer now. (He patrols the area I live in, and has a nasty habit of writing tickets for anything that he can find.) I have the truck in a custom cabinet shop right now having the interior re-done, and took him by to see it. Big mistake on my part I guess.
