Another 'towing-will-I-need-a-tacho' post

truckyboy:
Its just a pick up truck with a trailer on the back, no different to pulling a twin wheel caravan…didnt know about tacho regulations affecting that, more for over 3.5 ton…and as the op said no more than 3 tons, surely its exempt.

for commercial purposes the laws come into force when the total of the plated GVW/MAM weights are over 3.5 tonnes
Laws go on plated weights not actual weights
After going over 3.5 tonnes the exemptions are then looked in to to see if it is exempt from either operator or tacho regs
