The weight of the load isn't so much what's important as the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of the vehicle transporting it. The GVWR is the weight that vehicle is rated to be at when fully loaded - if the vehicle weighs 18,000 lbs. with the load it has, but has a GVWR (or Gross Combined Weight Rating in the instance of vehicles with trailers) of more than 26,000 lbs., then it required a CDL, period, whether you're crossing state lines or operating intrastate.
Now if the vehicle has a GVWR of less than 26,000 lbs, it won't require a CDL, but will require a DOT medical card.

Yes, a principal can potentially be charged with kidnapping if they take a child under 18 across state lines without parental permission in Mississippi. Kidnapping laws typically involve the unlawful taking or transportation of a minor, and crossing state lines adds a federal element that could lead to more serious charges. The specifics of the case, including intent and circumstances, would be crucial in determining whether kidnapping charges are appropriate. Legal advice from an attorney would be essential in such situations.
