Hauling Heavy- Recreational Vehicles

[M4wdFab]

some research:

if you ever need to get an empty trailer home and have no plates / tags / registration
NYS loopole- you say it will be used for a job site office, or job site plateform and it doesnt need any papers or inspection lol 


NYS

Do I need to register my vehicle in New York State?

It depends

if you aren’t a resident of New York, the vehicle registration from your state of residence is valid here
if you move to New York and become a resident, you must register your vehicle here within 30 days of becoming a resident (moving)
if you are a resident of New York and you get a vehicle from another state which you will be driving on New York State roadways, you must register the vehicle here within 30 days


Maine
main plates, out of state resident: ok for 7k or less non commercial.  7k or more or commercial needs safety inspection.  "Camp trailers" are exempt regardless of GVWR or actual weight.

Define vehicle

[M4wdFab]

thing with wheels and a vin number you use on DOT roads

[M4wdFab]

VIN

vehicle identification number:  a trailer is identified as a vehicle

[M4wdFab]

inquired about my truck:


The State of Maine will only register vehicles that are 1990 and up, and 10,000 lbs. or less
if the vehicle is a 1990 thru 1994 the title needs to already be in your name, if the vehicle is a 1995 or newer we will need the original title
 
any questions please call the Staab Agency 207-549-7541
 
thank you

The law stated the vehicle you are driving, trailers have no motor or steering  so you can't drive them

[M4wdFab]

troy its ok if you want to be dumb




MV-82 defines what box to check for vehicle 

[luvmyxj]

Hey now IM not the one breaking the law and turning mark into a crooked cop with your bad influence

[Nick]

This is going to be sweet when they impound your brand new truck haha

[mr.mindless]

good thing we can call you for a CDL driver!

I had no idea they wouldn't R permit a tow rig n trailer with commercial plates on the tow rig. NY is so dumb. Why the hell did they have to get rid of the non-cdl C??

[Ryan]

Your loan and insurance people might have something to say about where you register it as well. My trailer had a loan and the bank got its panties in a bunch because it was registered in Maine. I would have had to change it, but I sold it before they really forced me.

[mr.mindless]

poopy.

just did a quick reread and the only way to really be legal is a full-on CDL-A with med card and everystuff. Bah!

[M4wdFab]

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 “R”
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?   

[JEEPWERX]

First for everything I suppose. But let's be very honest... you don't appear to be private in any way.

By the sounds of the info you just posted, I would still only satisfy NYS DOT.
But I completely agree it's worth the time and money to get that much done.

We know alot of friends and family all well over 26k and no one has ever been bothered in an RV. With or without a trailer.
It's stupid.

So based on the info above I still need a driver with either an R endorsement or a full CDL to accompany me to the test?

yes, i had Nick go with me


if your thinking of doing it, i think a bunch of us should do it.  you pay 10$ at the DMV, then road test is 2-3 months later.  have to call and select apointment.  that lady was actually very nice to me.  Guy at road test- DICK.  wont make that mastake again, and call day before, have her tell her employee the deal.
