    Layman's terms for class A license

    Sounds like the typical dealings with the DOT/government agencies. They rarely make it easy to find the information a person needs, yet will fine you in a heartbeat for doing it wrong. Spend time researching various websites on the internet if you can. The FMSCA website I find to be fairly...

    Hey Big Rig Guys!

    T680's have Paccar mx13's under the hood by chance?

    Layman's terms for class A license

    I find it difficult at times to get a handle on all the rules and regulations, but you and I as a driver are required to do so… My license is my career, so I take it seriously. I also happen to have 8700 gallons of gasoline behind me 5 days a week, so it is in my best interest, and the publics...

    Hey Big Rig Guys!

    That K500 on the lowboy behind the new T880 is a sweet truck! The new t880 is nice as well. I drive a day cab t660 hauling fuel, and it spends more time in the shop than on the road. When it is running correctly, it is a nice ride. We also have crapcadias, and vulvas as well.

    How big is the trailer you are pulling with the truck? Any combination of vehicles with a GVWR of 26,001 or more pounds (11,793 kg) provided the GVWR of the vehicle(s) being towed is in excess of 10,000 pounds (4536 kg). If you are pulling a trailer with a gvwr greater than 10k lbs, you need a...

    Dad has a '53 F100 sitting in the garage, been sitting there for 25 years now… One of these years I hope to get working on it!

    Trying to beat the GVWR

    Ah yes, the old .04/.08 debate! Don't drink and drive, and it doesn't matter... My license is my paycheck, so not worth the risk to me... To the OP, get your class A, and quit trying to cheat the system... You will get caught, and better hope the truck is never involved in an accident... If your...

    Nice COE. I will say if I never had to drive one again, I would die a happy man.

    CDL section?

    Good work. Glad to see you are getting your class A. Don't limit yourself with your endorsements... If it were me, I'd take the doubles/triples, and tanker tests... You never know when/if you might need them... You are already at the DMV, doesn't cost but a few bucks more to add that to your...

    Why is that anytime people post pictures of a vehicle for sale, there is always something in the cup holder?
