Jerrod has the good info. Basically the "guidance" lines there mimic what the IRS says about hobbies versus businesses. Most guys are in pulling are classified as a hobby, since putting $50k into a truck to win $500 is NOT a sustainable business plan. If you called it a business.....the IRS would actually disagree with you. If the cops ever ask me again...it's going to be "sir, the IRS calls me a hobby, therefore, I am not commercial." And I would keep repeating that all the way to court if need be. Because it's the truth.

Now, if you have a shop and have that logo posted everywhere, and say the truck and trailer are registered to the business, etc., then you are in commerce land and all the heinous rules apply, you'll never get out of it.

As for registration, true story. I knew about the combination registration and when I bought my truck and trailer, I registered them at the same time. The lady at the messenger service was smart enough to combo register them (truck was class 8). I got nailed for the big registration fee and all my buddies laughed. But I actually did it right.

All of you who buy a dually, and register it by itself (and sometimes we all know guys bump it down a class to save money) and then go buy a big trailer later....if you do not register the combination....you're doing it wrong and they will eventually catch you.

In PA you need a medical card for GVWR over 17k combined and a lot of people don't do that one either.

I love pulling my trailers into Texas from Oklahoma. I rarely get 10 miles in before they pull me and harass me for no tags. Just another example of differing state laws.

I know a few that live on the Texas border and haul their wheat to a Texas elevator. Even though the elevator is 3 miles from the field, the OK farm exemptions don't apply for that 1 mile of Texas.
