You are setting yourself up for a very painful & very expensive education (meaning fines). If you haul for a fee, a CDL is required, plus all of the authorities, placards, etc. If you haul one load, one time past the minimum mileage, you have to have the electronic logger, at that point you don’t get to choose when you log & when you don’t. The mileage starts from the base location you register your rig, not from where you pickup the load. FWIW, there’s another element to all of this, once you have a CDL, you’re restricted to a blood alcohol of .04, always, (on duty working or not), if you get ticketed the points for violations are higher, plus with a CDL you can’t negotiate those violations to a lesser charge.
There is so much to consider here, so I repeat “go talk to the DOT”.
I’m not trying to be a party pooper, as this can be very fun & very rewarding, but it does come with restrictions.
