    I understand what you are wanting to do, but sometimes we have to play by the rules even though it doesn't seem fair. Again, dot number is free. Getting your medical card is easy. You walk into a clinic that is approved and tell them you want a medical card. Most people lie and say nothing...

    When I say cdl, cdl is class a and b. Some states have a non commercial cdl, which is nice. And yes, anything over 26001 pounds is cdl territory. ***Just because it says commercial drivers license don't let that throw you off. It is all due to weights. I understand 70 year old grandma with a...

    M923A2 weight ?

    If what motorcar is saying then yes. But here is the catch 22. Haul something over, in his example, 3,601 pounds and you are in cdl territory. If you are using it just for show then you should be good if all they go by is dry weight.

    Stuck in LA, 939 Locked in 6-wheel Drive - Ideas?

    It is easier to pull hub flanges, drive shafts to get you that last 400 miles then spend two days tracing an air line that could have waited till you got home. No one would have given you advice that would have put you in jeopardy, but rather try and get you back on the road.

    Who says a m1009 cant HAUL

    You are aware that a cdl isn't needed for anything under 26,001 lbs. That is the federal standard. CA is special, very special when it comes to its laws. Ask any long haul driver and they will tell you they hate going to CA because of its outrageous laws. As far as none of the light duty stuff...

This will be an issue for farmers that purchase vehicles, and what I don't understand is if the EPA is all about cleaning up the environment then what do the...
