<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Brandonpdx, post: 12104955, member: 12929&quot;]I know it&#039;s been discussed in a thread around here before but cant remember off the top of my head. I think most wont re-rate them after it&#039;s in service but a few were known to if asked. At some point I speculate the FMCSA will squash non-CDL trucking and it won&#039;t matter because they&#039;ll require a CDL for anything 10,001+ lbs such as with the HOS and medical card laws. That is the main reason I don&#039;t want to toss the CDL and downgrade to a normal license. They&#039;ve made it harder to get one now too.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The thought had occurred to me that maybe I could just buy his trailer I end up using if it&#039;s a good one and I am happy with how it works after trying it for awhile. But I have no idea at this point what it looks like or what brand it is or it&#039;s condition. He did say he bought a kingpin adapter though so that gets me off the hook on that one. That one for $9k in Valparaiso looked nice but I&#039;m not signing up for that quite yet. I will have to see how it goes using his for awhile first.</p><p><br /></p><p>Tow Piglet I think went out of business because the insurance got too high, but I have watched some of his videos and it seemed like he did pretty well just as a 1-truck operation. He always struck me as more of an opportunistic business guy who figured out he could make a better than average income driving a truck rather than a die hard who drives because he doesn&#039;t prefer to do anything else. But he seemed like he knew the game pretty well and I have learned some stuff watching him.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
