Sometimes true. Most of the time you might get hassled, but usually you dont' need a cdl unless you are racing for a profit (yea, right) or have stickers advertising companys on your rig. Very broad area. Never found out exactly what you need. I know people that have 18 wheeler tractors as tow rigs that don't have a cdl.
