The "occasional, recreational transportation of personal property for a non-business purpose" is exempt from Federal CDL rules regardless of weight. However, state laws may apply.
Seems you are correct-
1. Does the vehicle or vehicle combination have a GVWR, GVW, GCWR or GCW (whichever is greater) of 10,001 pounds or more?
If
NO, then the HOS and CDL regulations
DO NOT apply.
2. Does the vehicle or vehicle combination have a GVWR, GVW, GCWR or GCW (whichever is greater) of 10,001 pounds or more, but less than 26,001 pounds?
If
YES, the individual
MAY need an ELD to complete the RODS. However, a CDL is
NOT required.
3. Does the vehicle or vehicle combination have a GVWR, GVW, GCWR or GCW (whichever is greater) of 26,001 pounds or more?
If
YES, the driver
MAY need an ELD to complete the RODS and a CDL
MAY be required.
4. Is the vehicle being used for the occasional, recreational transportation of personal property for a non-business purpose, such as taking a personally owned animal, vehicle or other personal property to a show when the underlying business is unrelated?
If
YES, the HOS regulations
DO NOT apply. A CDL is
NOT required unless the licensing state requires it.
Note: Drivers must verify the licensing requirements in their home States.
