Antique Encompass, approx. $200 yr My local 7D Inspection station, Hummer H1 and Deuce already get inspected there.

Not sure re the truck it's in NJ. So far as last night, it was a spur of the moment as I was running around with the kids, also as the road block was up, had you come that way :oops:

NO CDL for 5 TON in MA! Per Trooper Burdett at Commercial Vehicle Enforcement State Police this applies: 5. Recreational Vehicle Operators. Any vehicle operated solely as a personal or family conveyance for recreational purposes may be operated with a Class D License. To be exempt from CDL...

" I guess 5 pages of advice from guys that THINK have been running their trucks legally in Ma." And that's the problem, thinking you are legal as you sit in the back of the cruiser and watch the wrecker tow your truck away is small consolation.

I have a call scheduled with a Commercial Vehicle Enforcement trooper at the State Polce , Concord, MA tomorrow. Let's see where that goes.

UPDATE: Well I got a callback which resulted in nothing. The guy had no clue what I was talking about re the CDL exemption, "maybe if you get a ticket and go to court a Judge could decide" - aua On the Antique plate and weight he 'thought" there was no restriction. "Why don't write to the...

They never asked for the weight when I applied for Antique. Show, parades, test drives, to and from repair shops..............Not for normal use. I have specifally asked RMV Central this: Phyllis, Any feedback on: "Is there any vehicle weight restriction on Antique registration?"...

Well, here we are a week later and no call back from the RMV despite daily emails to remind them and nice replies stating that 'We will call or email you tomorrow.'

I think this is good postive advice, I have a CDL study software package on my PC already and have been studying albeit when I have some free time which is slim to none. The question to the RMV was more around what the regulations stated, implied but actually mean. At least it will be...

T4bergie, thanks for the info. My Deuce has Antique plates and that was not a real issue to get done. I am still waiting to hear back from the RMV, will email my contact and see where they are in formulating an answer. The guy I spoke with was actually great to talk to. He was a little...

Hi Jay, I did see that one , however I have found an M813A1 I want but I fear the Gods are against me! I have actually started studying the CDL theory exam but that a long way off. Martin.

I hear the groans already – “Not another CDL thread!". Yes I live in MA and would like a 5 Ton BUT do I need a CDL? There are many posts on the subject BUT every state is different and I really could not find a definitive one for us MA guys. The web is a wonderful thing and in short order I...
