    It’s for the pickup truck and big trailer crowd.
    They can register for any weight they want So they definitely get into cdl territory with no air brakes.

    Just an FYI. My brother's F-550 has a non-synchronized transmission. Used it to haul the camper once....

    Most trucks sound like a weed eater to me these days.

    I miss the old iron where all trucks had a soul. And you could almost pick out so and such a driver in a particular truck coming and going if you were around the area long enough.

    B&B Concrete of Little Rock gave me a older Autocar mixer for a while to pour the Federal Courthouse bedrock. Those bosses cannot imagine the joy I had inside of me driving that sweet old thing. They were trying to make it out as punishment, but too young (In their mid 30's at that time) to understand that was what I ran before they were born.

    Said we'll have to retest, but they are trying to figure out the money part.

    That letter has to have your name on it from the state

    You can change the name on it who would know? I got my license in 2017.

    I bet all the letters they sent out are the same for everybody, the only difference is the name. I have a couple days down in FL to retake the test and if I do not have the letter i will not be able to do the manual test. And i would have taken some days off for nothing as the deadline is in a month.

    Good idea! Just photoshop it. They are going to make a copy and send it off to the state when you bring it in. I'm out on the road or I would have sent you mine.
