I want to haul cars...Do I Need a CDL ?

Eggsactly- heck my 99 F-350 has a gvwr of only 11,500, so in effect I have 14,500 worth of trailer and cars before I'd need a CDL. But then you gotta watch the RAWR, my dually RAWR is only 8,500. Not easy to keep under but do-able.

 

well if he stays in NY then hes good. just dont travel south of NJ.

 

Take the permit test. There are practice test on this site. Then depending on your state you can go test in the dually. If you so happen to see in your future that you may want to drive a full sized rig then find a truck and take the test. If you dont then take the test in what you have

 

Link please? to back up this statement.

 

it is in the fmcsa book with all the federal garbage.

 

I asked for a link because I've never found it, nor any DOT officer I've met, so if one exists please provide a link.

 

Mmmm thats odd, have you been level 1'd in a dually? Or inspected by dot at a scale? If so it should say in the upper right hand corner. What class is required. Ask the dmv but the people that deal with commercial motor vehicles they would know based on your state. But SC,and GA require a cdl

 

Oh yeah i found it, if your combination is over 26k you need one with that 10k trailer. Cdl isnt that hard to get, id get one and load up. SC still requires one.

 

He can travel anywhere in the United States or Canada without a CDL, try reading the rules before you post about them
