If your truck GVWR is over 10k you are not going to be pulling any 35+5 trailer without a CDL. Post up a picture of the vin sticker in the door jamb.
What’s the GVWR of your truck?
You will need a class A CDL to pull that trailer even empty. The class of license required is based off of the GVWR of your truck and the GVWR...
Many states don't give a flip about GVWR other than for license class required (A,B,C etc). As long as you paid for registration for the actual...
I get bombarded all year long but particularly more around insurance renewal time from companies wanting to sell me various trucking related...
While driving? Never. At work? sometimes. I have a shop behind my house where I work on all of our equipment. Earlier this month I spent a week...
So in other words it is a completely pointless regulation. I could drive around drunk everyday and then just wait until I was sober to go take...
Yes on paper. Most driving is local with no logging. I only need to actually log four to six days a month. The local driving isn't everyday...
I am owner/op no one knows if I am on or off duty but me?
But so what if it the breathalyzer doesn't read 000. For example I haven't drove a CMV since last week. I got the email about needing to go take a...
I just had to do my random yesterday. First one since 2016. I was reading through the FMCSA rules and they state 50% must be tested for drugs and...

Do they really make that big of a deal on a personal use amount? I am sure one would get in some kind of trouble but I just can’t imagine it being...
Also I am not asking for advice on how to do this. I merely want to know the consequences if caught doing it.
Just to clarify it is my mom not my grandma. While she has health issues up until two weeks ago she was perfectly functional and independent. She...
I don’t use drugs. Period. I live in Texas and my mom who is 76 has been in this hospital and is very ill from pneumonia. She has other medical...
Dealer or manufacturer? I used to have a Fontaine, 1996 model, and I emailed Fontaine a couple years ago and they emailed me back the ratings of...
I looked and the WLL on my D-rings is 15,666. I could put two G70 3/8" on them and relative to the chain still be 2,466 lb below the limit of the...
I could see them counting it as a single tie down if you had two chains on the same piece of equipment going to one d-ring but what I am...
That is what I would think and logically it makes sense but sometimes DOT laws don’t make sense so I was checking. On my trailer I don’t have a...
