Minimum equipment for taking Class A test?

dude I looked at your link and I already no about the laws and restrictions. The people including myself simply posted what his restrictions would be. HE said he was looking for minimum class A With a dodge truck. People generally associate a class A with a 18 wheeler. Dodge trucks don't have air brakes, most are automatic. IF you want a class A to drive everything than yes you need a semi truck.I don't know if your trying to make a ridiculous argument over it or not but dam its too late to go on any further with this with you


Op to your second question, yes you can take cdl with airbrakes truck and over 10k trailer with electric brakes. Again, you will be semi restricted

 

And again there is not a "no semi" restriction for a license!

There is a 5th wheel restriction (O) though. Plenty of class A vehicles in the hotshot world use 5th wheels.

As for the truck airbrake question, I would say it still would get the air brake restriction, as the restriction says "no full air brake" (L) I would still call the dmv to verify though.

 

It may not be in your book but trust me I have friends that have no semi restrictions

 

Maybe true. There are 50 different licenses so could be. The poster I replied to though sounds like he was calling the O restriction as no semi. That's not correct as per federal and the states that follow federal. It actually includes any vehicle needing a CDL and has a 5th wheel. So it would restrict some hot shots and car haulers, as well as a semi.

Again though, I agree that some state somewhere might have a different restriction. Do you know what state the "no semi" was issued in?

 

Georgia and South Carolina
