When I get my truck, it's going to have to be registered commercially. It will be used to tow my race trailer, and I race for money and I also have sponsors. Everything is owned by my business and it is not for hire. I am trying to do everything "by the book", but have found it difficult to get information that applies to me. And you RV guys think you have it rough!!

I understand the different weight class plates, but could somebody explain what apportioned plates are and how do I know if I need them or not? I know that I will need a CDL and also have to follow some (all?) DOT regs. What if any are the differences between what I must follow vs. a for hire common carrier?

I am sure the ensuing discussion will lead to some follow up questions, but it's a starting point. Also, any tips on where to find the info that applies to me will be most welcome. TIA.

Dan
