motor carrier permit learning

[grsthegreat]

I have a friend that had an F450 and tows a 5 horse gooseneck with living quarters. He was stopped i believe in Utah and ticketed ..... didnt have right class license.

Im sure it has more to do with generating more funds $$$$ than safety.

we call that revenue enforcement.. i'm sure most places that do traffic fines do it for the money.. and if some safety accidentally happens.. it's a bonus...

My dually F350 service truck has a gvw of 11k......I was warned to NOT tow my boat with it on weekends for exactly the same reason

It would bring the weight over the top

Is that a boat or a ship?

In Va. If it's tagged for less than 26,000lbs or if it's Ag. Use no CDL required.

Just don't leave your state if over 26k.

Our state is amping up revenue generation. They are stopping 1/2 ton pu's with yard tractors on trailers and slamming them for not having "free" dot numbers. In wi if over 10,000 pounds actual weight for you, trailer,load, truck, etc -- by definition you are commercial. Thank goodness there is a farm plate exemption!

Oh, as a "gotcha" if you have a free dot number (also by definition) you need commercial insurance, spares&flares, drivers log, dot inspections, etc etc.

Sounds to me like California needs more tax revenue for Obama Care and Unions.
