cdl truck?

[911crash]

i have a F650 with air brakes that tows my chipper. do you have the link for the DOT requirements saying CDL only. and depending on your chipper weight (10,000 and over i think?)you need you will need a different class of CDL

And remember a truck that size you will also need a combination vehicle endorsement too if you pull something behind you

in NJ you need a class A CDL (combination)only if the trailer is more than 10K and vehicle is over 26K or under 26K. you can drive truck that weighs 26K and under and a towed trailer or etc. less than 10K with a regular drivers license no CDL required. http://www.nydmv.state.ny.us/broch/cdl/cdl10sec01.pdf in NY anything over 26K you need a CDL, if your truck is 26K and under with air brakes you still dont need an CDL http://www.nydmv.state.ny.us/broch/cdl/cdl10sec05.pdf

Sorry, Yep you are right. I should have looked it up firstbefore I posted.I haven't driven a Big truck in years and I had a brain fart at the time.The 18000+LBs is I believe for the road tax.I always screw them up

I called Wis Dot licensing and they said that in WI and US DOT the weight restrictions (26,001 & GCVW10,000) are the thresholds for their enforcement.

I talked to a DOT cop and he said that having a Tare Weight decal is a good idea to keep them from stopping you, especially when towing.
