[QUOTE="AirFishAutomotive, post: 1063282, member: 3497"] it is whatever the truck and trailer gvw is. believe me my company is personally going through this headache now. You should be fine without needing a cdl license since the truck is prob 8800 or so gvw and the trailer is 14,900 bringing it to 23,700. You will still have to have all of your normal dot stuff. dot number (since its a business) medical card (I would assume since combined is over 10k) flares/triangles break away on trailer fire extinguisher and most likely a log book if you are going over 100 miles from home. I don't think there will be an issue pulling the trailer with 250 but you need to ask someone who pulls with a 250, we use 350/450/550 to pull 7 ton goosenecks and have never had any issues as far as the truck pulling it, even when my 350 drw truck got pulled over there was nothing said about the weight of the truck vs the trailer since the truck gvw is 12,600 (somewhere around there, less then the trailer) Then they are obviously going to go over the truck and trailer for tires,lug nuts,lights,leaks etc. Also to make sure its all strapped down correctly, (iirc straps have to be at least every 10ft.) this applies to md & de, I know this first hand....I have dot court in 3 weeks....
