Big Red Here's a few tidbits that may help (not really help but should be pretty factual). First off it is a real hassle using a tractor for tow mainly because you are using a commercial vehicle to do it. No matter how you try to disquise it, toilets, microwaves, tv's etc. it is still a CMV. Not only are you going to deal with the Inspections, commercial insurance, IFTA (fuel tax), Ca #, dont think you need a DOT# unless traveling out of state (commercial or private use), But any other headaches that go along with a CMV. If you are a trucker by trade it's a perfect gig. If you just want the extra power and pulling capacity, get out your checkbook. As far as log books go, that is another story, this is a requirement of your Commercial CDL, (sorry non commercial class A doesn't do it) if you have it yet, I believe you won't need to run a log as long as you are running local in Ca. Your residence to the dunes or whever your destination is, because you wont hour out on your driving. Additionally you will need the air brake endorsement on the CDL this test is actually harder to pass than the written portion of the CDL so study good. I don't claim to be any expert but have toyed with the idea and have pursued my CDL in the past. The best resource is to get the DMV CDL hand out and read it cover to cover there is alot of good info in there. Check the Ca DOT website there is alot of good information there as well. Just do your homework. Hope this help a little
