All those in favor of national or international laws/rules when it comes to hauling and towing say aye.
Its difficult sometimes when you enter a different province or state and the 'informed' individual tells you a different story then what you got when you did your homework to make sure you had your butt covered out there.

AYE

 

I agree 100% on that.. The only problem with that is, the states will no longer be able to make up the rules as they go.

Example: We had one of tractor trailers annually inspected by the local ODOT. The very next day we were pulled over by ODOT and given a ticket for a leaky air line.

 

Did you mean a DOT number anna?

Oh, but we have that already. That's why the CDL's were enacted. To make everything a level playing field and to provide consistency throughout the land.

Yeah, right.



AYE!

 

remember that 26 is gvcwr, not what your hauling but what you can haul. Basically if you have 2 10 k axles or triple axles you are over the 26k

 

No DOT numbers required......no special permit required........I'll be well under all the load and height restrictions.....just a 20' utility trailer.

 

I drive with a CDL A and a 26,000 lbs plate on the truck.

 

Class C. GCWR truck and trailer 26,000. Plated apportioned at 36k. Actual weighed weight is 24,000 to 25, 500, never over 26,000. I'm a commercial carrier with full operating authority and insurance and have ran about a million miles, been weighed and inspected many times and never had an issue with my class c.

 

I have a Class 1 with an Air Endorsement, (some jurisdictions call this a class A license)

I can drive about anything except a school bus, ambulance or motorcycle.

 

I think Anna means an oversize permit . FL is rough on hotshotters . A pickup or flatbed is not considered a tractor and different length laws apply .
There was a remark about equal international laws . Canada has different HOS . They require a 36 hour restart , carrying logs from the past 14 days becuse they require 24 hours off every 14 days , and they require the license plate number of the truck and trailer to be written on the drivers' log . Those are the first things they check when they get an American at the scales .

 

There may be some confusion between the DOT number and the MC number .
The MC (Motor Carrier) number is needed for hauling goods for hire but the DOT number is also needed for private use . Some states require you to have a DOT number and DOT inspection even if you never leave the state

 

Did you have to show your Hawaii birth certificate to get that license
