How Do I Register A Hotshot Truck In Texas

Alright guys, if whatsoever of you have been noting my posts the past few months, I am no longer in law enforcement, and am chasing other forms of employment at present. I went out and had some fun since my finish of employment in Dec, but I'g investing a little bit of money into being my own boss, and I found somebody running a beginning up hot shot business. I own my own diesel pickup truck, and a true apartment bed goose neck, merely I am curious as to what I need every bit far as licensing and registration goes.

My truck is under 7k adjourn weight, and nether 10k GVWR.
My trailer is under 4k curb weight, and nether 16k GVWR.

My total weight is 10-11k, and under 26k GVWR. If I am reading the law right, if my truck GVWR is over 26k, CDL A required. If my trailer is over 10k, CDL A required. If my combination GVWR is over 26k, CDL A required.

So at to the lowest degree by my trailer, if I'm pulling in a commercial manner, I am required to have a form A CDL? I am looking at starting hither presently, and I want to know what I demand to do, or if anybody is offering up whatever hot shot jobs as well. If I demand my CDL A for this, or fifty-fifty my CDL B, how do I get my license?

To be able to get my license, I need to take a properly registered and insured vehicle in the course of which I am obtaining my license for. Being that this will be my pick-up and trailer, I need to change the registration to a commercial combination and obtain Commercial Vehicle insurance on my truck. If I do this however, I could non drive my truck and trailer after I change the registration to beingness a CV without having the appropriate CDL. I get the easy fashion to practice this would be to have another CDL driver drive my truck for me to the DMV for me to exam, but my wife and I don't accept any friends or family nearby, and we don't know anybody with a CDL. Any LEGAL suggestions on this?

If I am not mistaken, I have to have the truck/trailer to wherever I register it at since I'm changing the registration type. If I didn't take to, I might consider hauling another truck on my trailer, and unloading information technology in the parking lot of the DMV, and driving the second truck to the registration office to have the registration inverse, so get my proof of insurance with the new registration. And then I could return to the DMV to have my driving exam. I'thousand not sure how else to practise it.

Thanks guys!
