You're wasting your time, not bursting your bubble but every Bubba, Jose' and Hadji is on Uship.......

i thought if you tow more than 10,000 lbs including trailer for commerce you need a cdl A???

At what point are you required to run log books?

Not unless it just as I said.

Combined GVWR over 26k provided the trailer GVWR is over 10k. Then an A is needed.

(1) Combination vehicle (Group A)—Any combination of vehicles with a gross combination weight rating (GCWR) of 11,794 kilograms or more (26,001 pounds or more) provided the GVWR of the vehicle(s) being towed is in excess of 4,536 kilograms (10,000 pounds).

Commercial motor vehicle groups. - Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration

Question 2: Is a driver of a combination vehicle with a Gross Combination Weight Rating (GCWR) of less than 26,001 pounds required to obtain a CDL even if the trailer Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) is more than 10,000 pounds?

Guidance: No, because the Gross Combination Weight Rating (GCWR) is less than 26,001 pounds

Interpretation for 383.91: - Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration

As soon as you start to haul commercially, oh, and you'll need a medical card too.

YES!!!!! And at this point you'll also have to be part of a drug testing consortium. (Random testing.)

I drive a straight truck delivering beer. Not apportioned so we dont have ifta stickers and dont require log books. I also drive a p.o.d.s straight truck with apportioned plates and ifta stickers, again no log required. So is it only tractors or trucks that have sleepers that require you to keep log books?

If you stay within 150 miles you don't need to log.

Ok that makes sence. I was never really clear on that
