Quote: then if people has to have a cdl to haul their race cars with their pickups, they should be allowed to take their cdl driving exam with their pickups. i would like to see somebody try and pull that off. you and i know that wouldnt be allowed to happen.
I did it....with my F350 and my 32Ft Enclosed trailer.
I have my "restricted" Class A CDL. I don't have my air brake endorsement which is why it is restricted.
When I presented my registration of the truck and trailer they were like you can't use this for your CDL driving test. I pointed out don't go by the registrations go out to the truck and open the door. That is what the DOT officer is going to do...the sticker in the door is 13000lbs on the truck and my trailer is 15500lbs.
Then I stated the last time I checked at 28500lbs...I need a class A CDL. So if I need a CDL to drive this vehicle why can I not present it to take the test? They could not give me a reason why I couldn't so off we went for my road test.
