Chicken Leg

I have been thinking about buying a Sprinter 3500 cutaway cab and
having a Supreme 14' box added. Since the GVWR is 9990, I was wondering if there is any truth to what have been told. A friend said that DOT does not consider trucks under 10,000 to be commercial and therefore is not subject to regulations. And also that most states also see it this way. This would mean no logging, no hours or operations concerns, no weigh stations, no IFTA, ETC. Is this good information or am I simply dreaming?
