Well, if you have a Motorhome or long rig you need to be aware of what's coming down in the now and future.
Since the States are broke, they need revenue. Tickets are revenue. I know there has been several posts on this, including the one last year by BGR.
But, I now know a good friend who got a very large ticket coming home from Pomona.

It was for over length in a Motorhome/Trailer combo. It's 65' in CA. His Combo is over 70'..
CHP said SHE got 3 others for the same thing on her shift..
So you say MH's are exempt?? Not in California any more.. He also got a "NO CDL" ticket too.. Why?? Because the MH has a GVW of 29,000 on the door..

Anything over 25,999 must have a CDL in CA.

Over $450.00 so far, and now has to go to court in Indio or Blythe CA. and get legal with a CDL..
All I'm saying here is you had better know your state laws, and the laws of the States you are traveling in or to. My Driver, Billy D, has a CDL, so he is fairly up to date on most of the laws. But they change quickly.. Especially in these times..

Also, if your rig has air brakes, you must have an air brakes endorsement..

I'm sure most states will follow Ca's. leader and nail Motorhomes.. It's all about the revenue..

AND.. Nevada has a fee of 12 cents a mile for commercial vehicles traveling on their roads.. They also say "YOU ARE COMMERCIAL" if you are going to a race, and there is a prize fund..

I believe CA. has the same law, but not for sure..
