Operating without endorsements or cdl

Good luck with that.

 

If it is a government owned vehicle, they probably don't have USDOT numbers either. They are exempt from a large number of regulations, because they are a government entity. Think about it, have you ever seen a salt shaker cross a scale other than to clear it off? When was the last time you saw a highway department dump truck with a tarp over his load? Have you ever seen a highway department truck get pulled over for ANYTHING? The regulations simply don't apply to them.

 

how about the plows with no oversized banners or flags? LOL.

or, even here in utah. they pull a trailer that rides the other lane. so you've got one truck plowing and salting 2 lanes at the same time.

i do know that the county mechanics need cdl's and med cards to drive the fire engines and dump trucks and garbage trucks. sometimes the mechanics pick up or drop off.

 

Forget it, you'll never find a Leo that's going to cite a municipality on something like that.

If you want to try, your "Local" PSP (Pa State Police) Barracks can connect you to their motor carrier enforcement unit.

 

Don't worry about it. I've been driving local and regional routes for a NEPA based company for almost 2 years now. The only time I've been pulled in for an inspection was by the local Pen Argyl PD. They were set up at a quarry along my route and were bored, so they did a quick inspection.

I wouldn't sweat it. They're not going to bother with trucks owned by municipalities. And they'll laugh at you if you call to report it.
