I know that there is a loophole in the law that says: If you own the equipment, and it is grossed under 26,000, you do not require a CDL. My son-in-law ran a hotshot for years without one and had it licensed for 25,999. But, he did not have air-brakes. At 27,800, I suggest you get one. Also, you will need a DOT Physical. Do not plan on finding a way around that.
