Combination vehicles/doubles

go ahead and study for the endorcements and take them at the same time while all the info is fresh, it is just a few more questions and then it's done, my wife took doubles triples tanker when she got her permit so it is easy enough.

 

The LCV certification I was talking about does require 6 months of driving experience while having the endorsement first and I already stated that the drive test was given by the employer along with a written test just for the LCV certification (LCV training and cert is given by an employer) This is kind of like when you get a hazmat endorsement, you still have to complete employer based training and take a written test before hauling hazmat as required by the DOT

 

You can have a class A with air brake restriction. A landscape company I used to work for reqired a class A to tow their equipment, but none of their rigs had air brakes. You only have to do general and combination for that setup.

 

I thought that was if the trailer gvwr was over 10k? Couldnt you pull a really small single axle trailer in a straight truck with a b? Why youd do it is beyond me but still.

 

You need to post that law for all to see.

 

I've never heard of it. That's why I would like to see the law.

 

Yes.



Also, you can get any class cdl without airbrakes, however it will show as a restriction on your license. Even if you take the written tests and pass if you test in a truck without airbrakes you will have a restriction. Airbrakes are not really an endorsement, if you dont take the tests you will just have a restriction.

 

Ma/ny has 5 years for LCVs, however there is no restriction for double pup trailers, I personally pulled them at 19 years old.

Combination is the class a part of the test
