seriously considering a five ton, looking at a m813a1. what do suggest?
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Wrong about 5 times, will help get you deuce owners back in shape owning a 5t, you really have to work to fix your 5ti have the 813 the only problem is eveything big and weights 2 as much as a deuce parts
813/813A1 are 30K+ GVWR. Remember the cut-off is 26K or less GVWR for CDL, however, each state interprets Fed DOT CDL requirements differently depending on truck use. With 5-Tons you should probably resign yourself to getting a CDL for safety and liability sake. Remember lawyers will find fault in anything. Don't give them any more fuel to throw on the proverbial fire if events were to go south one fine day. I got a CDL and have more peace of mind.You don't need CDL for the 813 as long as you are in the weight limit.
I don't know why the CDL is such a big deal. The only thing I can see that might get in the way, for some people, is passing the physical. Even then, the physical isn't that strict.thanks for great advice, the CDL is something i thought about but didnt think it was a "big" deal to get one.
I didn't think it was going to be a big deal either...but I learned a lesson. 3 written tests and 3 parts to the driving test. I passed the first time but I noticed more then a few didn't.I don't know why the CDL is such a big deal. The only thing I can see that might get in the way, for some people, is passing the physical.
