we should really try this since we now have a legit heavy RV in the family. I still cant find if NY law carriers to Federal and all states. That would be nice to know. the commercial plate pickup thing still kills us.
Recreational Vehicle or “R†endorsement - Recreational vehicles, with or without
air brakes, are not defined as commercial vehicles. You can apply for an “Râ€
endorsement for your Class D, Class E or non-CDL Class C driver license to allow
you to operate a recreational vehicle (RV) with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of over
26,000 pounds (11,794 kg). An “R†endorsement also allows you to drive a rental
vehicle with a length of more than 40 feet for the transportation of personal
household products.
To get an “R†endorsement: Submit a completed Application for Driver License
or ID Card (MV-44), indicating a license amendment, to a state or county motor
vehicle office; pay a permit fee, which is valid for a maximum of two road tests;
and pass a road test in the size and type of vehicle you will drive. No written test
is required. For the road test, a driver who is at least 21 with a license valid for the
vehicle you will drive during the test must accompany you. (e.g., a driver license
with an “R†endorsement or the correct Commercial Driver License). The road test
will take approximately 15 minutes and will include turns, intersections and backing
the vehicle to the curb. When you pass the road test, you must go to a motor vehicle
office and pay the required fee to complete the license amendment process.
Just get your cdl a and take all the questions out of it. Problem solved and now you have one other thing people may need and a opportunity to make money.
Nicks approach works only within NYS. travling over states lines you need trip permits (70-140$ each) and IFTA and im sure other hassels
Because its all BS. Just like the DOT numbers. It's yet again another way to wring money out of us.
So
I bring up the question again...
Why the big worry?
Have any of us ever been pulled over, forcefully weighed and ticketed?
Mike mike doesn't count because he is for hire.
And Nick F is hauling construction equipment that is for hire.
I'm referring to transporting unregistered and or untitled offroad vehicles. Regardless of whether they are in a competition or not.
Just Run it.
Now what Erik?
