Starting a llc and picking up some smaller jobs

You have to answer those questions correctly cause if you don't then the DOT cops will go down the rabbit hole that you're running a commercial hay operation and you'll receive a DOT colonoscopy right the on the side of the road. Hauling permits, tire tread depth, if a diesel tow truck fuel permits, plus they may check the fuel for off road dye, trailer lights and anything else the officer can write you up for and from experience those guys will get the book out of their vehicle and look for things to write you up for.

Be careful and stay safe.......

That's what I was eluding to in my question above as well. You can "need" to comply with commercial crap in a real hurry...especially if you are transporting those goods for doinky doinks.

I have a few neighbors that meet their tax exemptions by having a little road-side farm stand...

Having a CFV addendum on the IL B or D plate helps get around DOT. If the trailer has a Farm plate then it also gets around DOT. There are exemptions built in for hauling farm goods to and from the farm, so DOT is nothing I need to worry about. I already have a class A CDL, so for me, non issue. I just have to fill out a form and submit it with $10 when I renew the plates for the CFV to be in place.
