Full time race drivers like NASCAR Transports and anyone getting paid to drive the truck, would be considered a commercial driver, and the truck would be required a separate set of rules. If it was found during an accident that the driver was a professional and the DOT rules were not followed he should be prosecuted. But those rules are too onerous for the weekend warrior racer , Horse-showman Rodeo Cowboy or Carshow participant.

I would support this. If the Truck/RV and Trailer are individually or together over certain weights, then a restricted CDL is required with special written and a driver's test. My friend Charlie put hundreds of thousands of miles on his Prevost, all without a CDL. But he had been in the construction business, owned and driven dump trucks, but ... nothing as big as the Prevost.

I've considered going and getting a CDL when I get a rig that big.

There is nothing wrong with voluntarily adherring to certain rules ... but of course most owner/drivers won't do that.
