I do not see how I can have a problem. I never provide any

Well, that's the thing...that's "not for hire" but if you haul gear that
you resell, and that is interstate via eBay, say, you _can_ be
considered as engaged in interstate commerce and subject to all those
rules about how you operate the tractor, for example.

Again, it will depend markedly on the _exact_ circumstances but don't
think you are necessarily exempt for the above reasons from many of the
same reporting requirements, etc.

I think it would fall under the "Private carrier" category if he is
transporting his own products, which I believe is a bit different from
the "Not for hire" category.
