Something I have been wondering about, I have a class B CDL but do I need a Class A to pull a gooseneck trailer?
If your combined gvwr is over the magic# of 26001 yes. Apparently the magic# may be different in some states idk about that.Something I have been wondering about, I have a class B CDL but do I need a Class A to pull a gooseneck trailer?
Exactly, I doubt but very few here have a class A just to haul cattle or farm related. But seems it's required.If your combined gvwr is over the magic# of 26001 yes. Apparently the magic# may be different in some states idk about that.
A class b is a single vehicle license ( school bus, dump truck etc.)
Get your agent to swap you over to a commercial (fleet) policy, if they haven't already.My little 4x4 ranger does not have a title... we have a half a dozen trailers that are covered when they are hooked to our trucks... but FB is limiting the number of vehicles allowed...
Yes like Fence said if it is over 26,000 GVW and the trailer is more than 10k# of that then you need a class A. Class B is for straight chassis vehicles class A is for combination.Something I have been wondering about, I have a class B CDL but do I need a Class A to pull a gooseneck trailer?
Why you gotta single out prostitues J ?? Poor girls just tryin' ta make a livin'Just another example of regulations that turn the working class into criminals while true criminals are not prosecuted for their crimes of theft, looting, drug dealing and prostitution.
I found a document from the folks at Texas DPS. There's a line in there that Intrastate farmers are exempt from the Federal Motor Carriers Safety Regulations if the vehicle or combination of vehicles is less than 48,000 pounds. My brother-in-law is a License and Weight Trooper with DPS. Waiting on a reply from him to get his thoughts.Does anyone have a link to the actual law? I read that article yesterday and after reading these comments I think the article is missing a lot of key information.
I know one thing - I can't afford to get a CDL, I cannot justify the expense for something that might happen 2-3 times a year, Texas is a big state and driving more than 150 miles to get something or deliver something is a very routine thing.
Thank you! I'll be looking for word from you on this. The publication you provided was last updated in 2019.I found a document from the folks at Texas DPS.

I asked if the Intrastate ruling about gross weight up to 48K with a farm tag and no CDL required applied to me hauling my equipment or cattle, picking up supplies, etc. for my farm.

Notice he correctly stated Intrastate. Meaning in state only.I asked if the Intrastate ruling about gross weight up to 48K with a farm tag and no CDL required applied to me hauling my equipment or cattle, picking up supplies, etc. for my farm. Here's his answer:
"That is correct. As long as you are not in commerce (for hire to others), you are good up to 48,000 pounds with a farm tag without a CDL. Always make sure it's for the farm when asked questions. Also there is a mileage restriction of 150 air miles from home farm but we don't really worry about that. We're more interested in catching the commercial haulers that are on the highway."
