    In Massachusetts you need a license to operate skid steer, backhoe, loader etc.

    Thank you, good advise. Started my new job with a good size landscaping co. I like it already but am terrified of the truck I'm driving. OLD 20+ years Ford. Lousy breaks and steering. Going to be real cautious.

    Only in the REPUBLIC of Massachusetts! I knew a Painter years ago that told me that you needed a PERIMT to paint your house....interior or exterior in one of those commie NE States/Cities. Maybe it was PA.....Philly or Pittsburgh. There must be something in the water up there!:rolleyes:o_O

    I'll be back home in Tucson, AZ next week. I will be renting a small backhoe/loader to replace a sewer line on my property. All I need to rent it is a Drivers License and a CREDIT CARD!! LOL

    Rhode Island requires one too, and a MA one does not count so you need both. theres one more state that requires them but I can’t remember which, but I want to say it’s on the other coast.

    problem with a class B and construction is once you hook up a 20 ton tag to it you can no longer drive it

    Yeah, they got you coming and going in this state. Naturally they charge you a fee every two years to keep the license and continuing education. lol
