    Do I need a permit to drive my M923 home?

    I have not seen anything that drives a CDL based on air brakes, The CDL requirements are on the internet. There is an air brake "cert" but I don't read it as the driver for a CDL rather as a cert needed if your CDL required truck has air brakes, not all do. I dare say all states D/L...

    Do I need a permit to drive my M923 home?

    Wow. I guess I am lucky, I think I will have to stay out of the state of California. The CDL is a FED requirement, if your under 26 k NO CDL required, Insurance is a state requirement, NH has no insurance required, one can simply post a bond and drive anything. Reciprocity is federal law on the...

    Fifth wheel hauler

    M 932 A2 Fifth Wheel Hauler Reese Hitch is HARD to see to line up. SO, added a wireless camera with a screen in the cab WORKS GREAT ! Camera is magnetic mount , so when not in use I keep it in the cab so it doesn't grow legs and walk.
