They spoke highly of the engine/transmission combo and assurred me my 15,000 lb trailer would not even require splittin' the gears on the tranny. Drive it just like my Dodge.

Kowboy

I don't want to crash into your clubhouse and piss in your cornflakes but this is and is not true.

With the GVWR at 26,000lbs it is true that you do not need a CDL to drive the truck. Since it has hydraulic brakes you do not need a CDL with an airbrakes endorsement. That part is true.

Once you hook a trailer to that rig, you will be over the 30,000 combined GVWR and you will need a class "A" non commercial CDL with an air brake exemption.

If you put a business sticker of any kind on that set up you will need the regular CDL with the air brake restriction. You will also have to pay for a weight declaration and post on your door. You will have to keep log books, etc. Drive through all the weigh stations, etc.

I just went through this earlier this year with an F450 (15,000lb GVWR) and a 38' featherlight gooseneck trailer (16,000lb GVWR). I had to sit at the scales until someone with a proper CDL could come adn drive it off. That was a 5 hour wait but the $7,800 fine hurt the worst.

Just looking out for you. Have fun in Katemsy

The key is to get it registered as an "RV ... not for hire". Opens up all kinds of legal loopholes.

Feel free to piss in my cornflakes at your convenience sir.

KOWBOY · 02-27-08, 04:06 PM

Well ....

Got me a one-way ticket to Chicago ...

Got me a cashier's check ...

And the owner assures me that he can teach any fool to drive the darn thang in 5 minutes ... even a damn Texas Redneck.

No license ... no tags ... no fear. Come noonday Saturday ... I'll just be makin' a run for the TX border.

Life is good.

66fj40x2 · 02-27-08, 04:51 PM

I got off the phone with the bank about an hour ago and they're gonna have a cashiers check with your name on it for me to pickup tomorrow.

Can't wait to see it sir! What is it about those trucks that they can't seem to paint them a normal color?

KOWBOY · 02-28-08, 08:04 PM

This was the show truck for the chrome shop that built it. They used it to advertise thier shop so wanted a color that would gather attention.

Besides ... ain't puke lime green a normal color?

must be a guy thing...lil' bro liked puke green too

KOWBOY · 02-29-08, 06:09 PM

So here I sit.

Just printed out my boardin' pass for in the mornin'.

Gonna be a long night ... I feel like a kid on Christmas Eve.

But I know what Santa's gonna give me tomorrow ... theoretic'ly.

Some Fella I ain't never met is supposed to pick me up at Midway Airport and drive me a hun'erd miles to a big-rig truck shop.

Where I'm gonna hand another Fella I ain't never met a rather large check to pay for a puke lime green truck that I ain't never seen ... or even know how to drive for Gawd's sake. And I got me 24 hours to get 'er to Texas.

From the movie "Tombstone":

"There's no such thing as a normal life ... just life ... so go live it."

And come tomorrow ... I will indeed be livin' it.
