I will dig deeper into the tag issue, but I think it only matters for commercial, OR just about everyone that hooks to a trailer around here is illegal. I am not hooked up to my trailer full time like a semi would be, and I can't imagine that everyone with a truck over 8K GVW considers their boat/travel/whatever trailer when buying a tag.
26) "Commercial motor vehicle" means any vehicle which is not owned or operated by a governmental entity, which uses special fuel or motor fuel on the public highways, and which has a gross vehicle weight of 26,001 pounds or more, or has three or more axles regardless of weight, or is used in combination when the weight of such combination exceeds 26,001 pounds gross vehicle weight. A vehicle that occasionally transports personal property to and from a closed-course motorsport facility, as defined in s. 549.09(1)(a), is not a commercial motor vehicle if the use is not for profit and corporate sponsorship is not involved. As used in this subsection, the term "corporate sponsorship" means a payment, donation, gratuity, in-kind service, or other benefit provided to or derived by a person in relation to the underlying activity, other than the display of product or corporate names, logos, or other graphic information on the property being transported
But that would not mean squat if you drove to Pa for example.
On the post a couple back, just register the truck (power unit, tractor, etc) at what the combined fully loaded weight of both the trailer and the truck will be, which if I remember is 19+K lbs
On Haz mat, If I remember correctly, hauling over 110 gals of say fuel gets you a required CDL endorsement as a "bulk" carrier. Otherwise just a haz mat endorsement. There are a mulititude of different quantities for different items that trigger haz mat placards, and the amounts are rather small relative to what I think you guys carry to the races. And any US required placarded towed vehicle will really muck up your insurance, if they ask, be warned.
Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.
