I didn't read the link, so forgive me if I'm restating something(a lot of people think they know and are clueless) I have been in contact with FMC and State of Michigan dot. Question #21 on FMC site may answer any questions you have. I race for pure hobby(more like vacation) since I rarely win money(claim it under normal income), don't have sponsors, etc, I am not considered commercial and was told by the FMC that I do not need a CDL, although he encouraged me to get one, to drive my motorhome and 38' stacker trailer. I agreed with the FMC guy that I might get hastled by a road officer, towed or parked, but I'm taking my chances until it happens. I carry supporting documentation from MDOT and FMC and two years tax returns to show I'm not a racing business. I maintain the speed limit and try to do everything "proper" as to not attract attention. The gray area for you is that your truck is not a motorhome. I'm not sure how that plays out. Good luck.
