She's fine, thank you Aaron.
I'm sitting around contemplating dinner (not that I REALLY need it)
and waiting on a booty call.

Good morning guys.
How hard is it to get a CDL
The travel trailers we are looking at to maybe get in the next couple of years are over 10,000 lbs.
As I under stand it with my truck ( with commercial plates ) and a trailer over 10,000 lbs I need a CDL.
I would not need the air brake cert.
Pete if you have the book or paperwork for the test can I look at it?

DMV: Driver's Manual
You can read the CDL handbook there or if you don't mind waiting I'll grab a hard copy at DMV when I go for my permit next month.
In my opinion it's easiest to just have a class A CDL and not have to worry about "can i drive it?" again.
I intend to get CDL class A (combination vehicle) and air brakes at the same time. I'll go back at a later date and get a tanker endorsement and doubles endorsement. I haven't been able to find any information on whether or not I can get those at 18 or if I can't get them til I'm 21. I know I'm limited to intrastate (not interstate) until I'm 21 which is stupid cause I can have 2 years under my belt and not be able to legally go interstate while someone 21 can go interstate the day they get their CDL.

pete are you planning on driving doubles? all the truckers called them "wiggle wagons" because they dont really follow the truck down the road.
