you dont need that kind of stuff in kanaduh EH?????

 

You don't need it on a privately owned

 

Hey Drew, how's it going? A CDL? Is that a Commercial Driver's Liscence? I always knew that I was slightly over the gross weight towing capacity for my truck, but then, we only tow on rare occasions. Like HandymanHerb stated, this is for private use only, and hopefully the state troopers won't come down too hard on me.
Thanks for the input.

 

the only reason I mentioned that is in another former life I drove a freightliner and granted it was personaly owned, it was still for a buisness. . .I found many back roads around weigh stations. even though I was only grossing around 40K I didnt have a CDL. had to do what I had to do

besides, in georgia the cops around here are quick to break out the scales.

 

Sorry...I don't talk to people who are lucky enough to have lifts at their house.

J/K

 

i have a lift at my house tis nice

 

How much does just the block weigh? I am thinking about buying an engine hoist and want to get one big enough to pull the engine out of the 2500 in case it ever needs to be re-built.

 

For a private rig say like big river's got are we supposed to stop at a weigh station....lol

I pull yatchs from time to time for private owners some 60" boats sometimes and construction equiptment for a company I don't actually work for... seen loads as high as 36k for short 1-2hour runs and I-10 has wieght stations all over it...and since I don't own them I was j/w now that ya mentioned it...I got a CDL as well

 

you want to get technical on them RVs? most of the RVs on the road should have a class c or so license. class D license is only good to 16000. besides recreational vehicle are exempt from having to have a CDL. at least in the state of illinois. if you want to argue that one i can post the site that has the cdl handbook on it as i got that straight out of the handbook. it does have have to be for personal use though.

 

I've only been draggin my 5'ver around for a year or so, but from my experience, yet spent many years on the Interstates. I really can't remember ever seeing a 5'ver much less a motohome pulled into a weigh station. No doubt that those large land yachts weigh a considerable amount. Also, when purchasing my 5'ver, or at the time of insuring it, never did the question come up of having a CDL. I hate to blow off anything which might put me in legal issues, but I suppose I should look further into this. ( If my 5'ver is too heavy, I may be selling my ride to Mayfair after all!!!! )
