    Not a thing... I have a pair of Nike sandals I live in at home. I just couldn't work in them. I'd be worried for my toes!

    That laugh at the end says “he ain’t gonna be able to deny this one in court!”.

    The guy holding the camera is what makes it funny... not the accident.

    “What do we do now!?”

    I've been OTR for the past 3 years and love what I do. My son-in-law was asking about car hauling with a dually and small (3 car) trailer. Does he need a CDL to do that?

    If its has a gvw of 26,001 and is a combination it will require an A CDL. So yes. Someone with no experience jumping right into hauling cars even with a 3 car is a big learning curve and can get expensive!

    Even 2 cars on a 10K trailer is CDL territory, they have been going after lawn jockeys and tradesman around here.

    In NY state DOT inspectors hammer the $&@& out of hot shot
    Car haulers . When ever the inspection stations are open you always see them inspecting the duallys pulling the 3.4 and even
    5 car trailers way more than anyone else. I was getting a level 3 last year and I was talking with the DOT cop and he pointed to a dually pulling a wedge trailer that was pulled in to get inspected and he smiled and said “ I can write a lot more tickets on him than you”. He said a lot of them don’t have the right license , a dot number,over
    Weight , brake issues, no log book etc.
