[QUOTE="Topper1, post: 132755, member: 22814"] Thought this may be worth mentioning. Every state, county, province, territory will vary so check with your local authorities.. In some jurisdictions, special licensing, special registrations and insurances are required for towing additional weight in a "commercial enterprise". In my area, we are required to hold a commercial drivers license or a heavy haul endorsement when towing in excess of 10,000 lbs. Our towing vehicles must be both rated and registered for the additional towed weight. We require additional insurance & liability insurance for the combined vehicle and towing capacity. You MAY or MAY NOT be required to run an active daily log book, vehicle inspection log, annual commercial safety inspection. My area gets even more complex if we happen to fall under "Commercial Carrier Enterprise" which then requires, in addition to provincial documentation, registration and insurances, even more documentation and certifications from the federal level. Check with your local authorities to ensure you are compliant with local laws. A wise old boy once told me. Operate as if you were going to be inspected at a federal highway scale. Mindset is everything. [/QUOTE]
