    If you can get a ride to PA, renew, rent a car for return trip.

    No family you can bribe to make the 3 hour drive to pick you up? Sorry this happened to you. Hopefully you can laugh about this in a few days

    Can't believe Penn DOT didn't send you a letter over a month ago? I'm Licensed in Indiana and they set me a letter over a month and a half ago stating my license needed to be renewed by my Birthday on August 2nd... Kind of the same thing with TMC I cannot believe they waited till the day of or day before to send you a notice?

    Your an O/O right? What's stopping you from driving the 150 mile's with the expired license? I know it's risky but sometime you gotta do what you gotta do... Getting a cab and all that other stuff is going to be hell... If it were me I'd take my chance even if It came down to TMC making you leave there trailer at the rest area while you drive to get the license deal straight

    We all know he could probably get away with it 99% of the time. But that's a hell of a risk

    I drove a week before they stopped me since neither of us knew. I would have no prob driivng carefully for 150 miles...but they would know if my truck moves. Im under their authority, their plates, their permits, their insurance, so i guess they have the right to tell me I can't drive. Plus they are strict about never dropping trailers and i am attached to their skateboard. My truck is now OOS untill I get the licence straitened out so im sure alarm bells go off if it moves.

    I am searching for the nearest PA center for drivers license renewal to your location- I sent you a PM since since i don't think i can post a phone number in here ?.
    They (PA) are not making it easy.
    FYI you may need to have a camera card -which i guess is what you would have received by mail had you renewed.
    I am also a pa resident.
    I am also checking for the nearest to you in PA AAA center which usually does these things.

    Besides. That would be the one day something really silly happens where you get pulled over or a 4 wheeler decides to rear end you or something. It just the way Murphy works
