I drove the big Uhaul truck for two days. I honestly can’t believe they let people with no CDL or truck driving experience drive those things. Plus you can pull a trailer and tow your car behind. Seems crazy. I’ve been driving truck for years but that Uhaul couldn’t definitely get a bit crazy for someone used to a Prius.Trucker61016, Grumppy, tscottme and 1 other person Thank this.

When I used one to move 2 years ago. I was surprised by it's acceleration. Didn't like having no cruise control. But it might be because it's one for short drivesTrucker61016, jmnp and OldeSkool Thank this.

I briefly had a job delivering trucks for a driveaway company about 15 years ago. I had quit a bus driving job and got sucked into that work. As someone else mentioned, a Class B with an air brake endorsement is sufficient. I even had my elderly Volvo station wagon rigged to be towed.
The job seriously sucked, however, and I regret not looking harder at upgrading to a Class A back then.jmnp, Trucker61016, OldeSkool and 1 other person Thank this. -
I see a lot of references to an air brake endorsement. There is no such thing as an Air Brake Endorsement. There is however an Air Brake RESRICTION if you didn’t obtain your CDL with a vehicle that didn’t have air brakes.

And @Ridgeline
How does that work out for RV'ers in basically a Bus towing a trailer full of toys or a farmer with a Dually pick up and a stock trailer full of cows? These 2 areas have always left me confused? To not high-jack I'll be happy to take as a PM. -
Not For Hire. Completely different game change. Go to a bar and talk a girl out of her pants, zero issues. If she’s for hire and paid by the pounding, you suddenly have different rules.
