Jonas, I drive a Peterbuilt race car tractor trailor that is 79' long and is registered in NY as a motor home. CDL stands for comerical drivers liscence. If you plan to use your truck as a "private carrier", you don't need a CDL.I have bypassed many chicken coops(scales)without a problem.
The truck has a small 5th wheel on it . It is my understanding that if you have the large 5th wheel you will be reguired to have a CDL.
Good luck. Steve in NJ.
