Driving a truck and trailer across a state line with a Class C driver's license will soon change.
Everybody that competes and hauls down the road and shows horses, cattle, whatever, if you're getting paid to go down the road or paid to compete, then it affects you.
The U.S. DOT requires people involved in any sort of interstate commerce to get their commercial driver's license.
That will mandate them to install an Electronic Logging Device in their trucks to monitor how long they have been on the road. The ELD will also require them to take breaks.
People caught on the road without their CDL could face of a fine of several thousand dollars.
Y'all are effing screwed. Truckers got shafted, and no one protested loudly enough, and now the govt has figured out how to get more money from some of us they couldn't screw before

For the purposes of Federal Motor Carrier safety regulations (FMCSR);
Commercial Motor Vehicle means any self-propelled or towed vehicle used on public highways in interstate commerce to transport passengers or property
"Commerce" can be more loosely defined as actually "involved in a commercial venture" or the "intent" to make a profit. This does not mean actually making a profit! Running a commercial stable, hauling horses for show (with intent to profit), race, sale, training, or for compensation are some examples of commercial enterprises. Prize money and showing to increase the value of the horse can be interpreted as profit.
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSR) in general deal with the marking of the vehicle (identification signs on the vehicle), inspection sticker, medical card, log book, emergencies procedures, and parts and accessories necessary for safe operation. US DOT, FHWA publishes the Federal Motor Carrier Regulations Pocketbook.
