Because you've seen it doesn't make it safe or legal doing it commercially.
I've seen folks that don't have a clue hauling 5th wheels with 1/2 ton trucks, they're not anywhere near legal or safe doing so regardless of what drivers license they may have.
Most rv delivery/hotshot drivers are using 1 ton duallies & typically, probably legally required, have placards with the allowable weights posted on the truck.
A class A CDL WILL be mandatory, as will stopping at ALL weigh stations & commercial check points, some of which you could be camped out in til someone with a suitable tow vehicle arrives if you're overweight.
I agree you're going to be limited to hauling TTs rather than most any 5th wheel with a 3/4 ton truck.
