At least thats what the Trooper told my boss as he wrote a $950 ticket. Seems like anyone pulling a decent size boat behind any new full size vehicle would be at fault, never mind the camper guys

Your boss was apparently stopped by a Commercial Motorcarrier Enforcement Trooper.

And what the Trooper probably told you boss is that if the trailer you are towing has a GVWR of 10001 pounds and up, then you have to have a class A Commercial DL. It's not the total weight of both units.
