I'm kind of torn on this whole thing, in fact on anything to do with applying Interstate Commerce regs to intrastate commerce. IOW, I don't think the Feds have any right to regulate what the states do unless there is interstate commerce involved. The States are not thinking in terms of sovereign rights any more though, they just bow to Washington and that's all there is to it.
As far as your DMV clerk and a DOT guy not being on the same page, yeah, that's a problem. All I can recommend, as a retired DOT cop, is to get what they tell you in writing and have it with you if it sounds at all hincky.

The weird thing is that sometimes when I checked the clerk admitted to giving out some nutty info that they believed was accurate. Interstate vs intrastate, CMVs vs Municipal vs RVs vs exempt Farm, registered weight vs GVWR, Ag and Markets Laws vs FMCSR vs V&T law vs what Billy Joe Jim Bob told the schmuck driver at the feed store 10 years back.......and people wonder why there are problems!

A copse of wildbreaking silver birch and oak trees surround the top si
