[QUOTE="shhak, post: 9434648, member: 53892"] I recently bought some shop equipment up in KY. I didn't have a truck big enough to pull the flatbed trailer that I needed to use to haul the equipment so I borrowed a truck from my parents car lot. The truck had AL dealers plates on it. The trailer, I own, and it is a 30' gooseneck with dual tandems. I was pulled over in KY for a tail/brake light being out. The officer told me I had to run a log book, have a DOT number on the side of the truck, have a class A CDL (which I have), and all sorts of other stuff because it was a commercial vehicle. I tried to explain to him that it wasn't a commercial vehicle because I was using it for my own personal use, nothing commercial about it. Another issue was that my drivers license show an experation date of my birthday in 2014. When he ran my license, it showed as expired on my birthday in 2009. I renewed it just 4 days after my birthday that year. I called my local DMV and found out that my license was valid, they just made a mistake on their part in the computer. They told me that they'd send me a letter confirming this and that ticket should be dismissed. I was issued tickets for no seat belt, which I know I'm guilty. One for no log book, one for license (which I'm sure will be dismissed), one for a brake light being out, and one for a tail light being out. My question is this....was I driving a commercial vehicle? It was my trailer, hauling (actually, on my way to pick up) my own equipment for my personal use, nothing to be used commercially. Any advice? [/QUOTE]
