    925 5 ton question - CDL Required?

    Air assisted hydraulics may or may not qualify as being Air brakes. Vacuum assist also uses air pressure for it's assist, it's just air pressure on the other side of the diaphragm.

    M747 destroyed by crooks

    Did the scrap yard still have the gooseneck and other parts?

    An Aussie 5-ton RV conversion 'Mad Max Winnebago'

    Robb, you could probably fit out a container and ship it over for not too much and buy yourself a 5 ton truck and stick the container on the truck and get around that way.

    "The Beast"

    One of the guys on the ferret list had a White UN marked ferret. (british army used them but did their patrols in UN white in some cases). He eventually repainted it OD green to stop the people coming up and harassing him.

    WWII Tank retriever scraping

    There are VERY few M26 Pacific's still in the US. I half think there are more in the UK/France since we left so many there and didn't ship them back. Please see if you can get these parts to someone who can resurrect one with the parts.

    Is diesel supposed to look like this?

    I had to clean a tank that was like this. I siphoned off fuel that was good into jerry cans and then proceeded to siphon as much of this gunk out and once the tank was mostly empty turned it over and was able to get it clean with water and a bit of detergent and then put the tank in the sun to...

    extended cab deuce

    I've always wanted to import an ACCO cab for this purpose.....that or a whole ACCO and an acco cab. And another page showing one for sale. The more I look at these the more it's clear they're a cousin of the Deuce, WWII Origins, International as the maker.....the lineage is clear.

    Motor Carrier Inforcement in Michigan

    You missed the people ticketed by FOUR officers in Rochester for parking more than 12" from the curb in the suburbs.

    My Experience W/ IFTA

    The problem with that argument is that there are Commercial Trucks that have that and more in the sleeper boxes. A toilet doesn't make the vehicle NOT commercial any more than a bed does. It's use, not equipment. Now, the regs are poorly worded but the intent is the above.

    Commercial DL ?

    From the Florida License classes web page. I wonder what firemen or farmers in Florida drive on when operating a Tractor Trailer. Do firemen who have an accident in a hook and ladder get pegged for driving outside of their license class? What does an RV driver use when towing a 15,000 lb RV...

    Commercial DL ?

    One additional Data point. Ga defines RV's contradictorily to the FMCSA's still. They state that they can be used with a Class C license. Even with Air brakes (not explicitly) and at 20 tons with a 15 ton trailer, a FULL sized RV would be a Class C license vehicle. Use it for commerce, while...

    Commercial DL ?

    Just to add, I have a Class AM non-commercial license. I have never been bothered by DOT folks AND the one time I did interact with them, they were interested in the load from a "hey, that's NEAT!" perspective. I started to get out paperwork and they waved it all away.

    Commercial DL ?

    No, it's not. It's like buying a milsurp 707 and asking if you need a Commercial Pilots license to haul passengers OR if you JUST need a Multi-engine Large Jet license. Cause they're NOT the same thing. Are you compensated for flying? Or are you flying for your own purposes? Commercial...

    Commercial DL ?

    Based upon what statute? The fact is that it is not as cut and dried as everyone says. Starting off, I'm not a lawyer, I'm just a lay person who has spent a substantial amount of time researching this issue with both my own state controlling authorities AND with the federal government on this...

    Fuel sticker violation in NC

    Just because you're driving doesn't mean you give up the rights to not have your vehicle searched. Case in point, just because a firearm is in open view doesn't mean an officer has cause to seize the firearm, albeit temporarily and run the SNs. That constitutes an unlawful search AND seizure of...

    Fuel sticker violation in NC

    Except the penalty for failing to give the consent is not the loss of the drivers license but the levying of another fine. Still looks like an end run around the 4th amendment.

    Fuel sticker violation in NC

    That is constitutionally indefensible. Change the language. "(2) A person that refuses to allow an inspection as of their home or person provided in this subsection commits a summary offense and shall, upon conviction, be sentenced to pay a fine of not less than $1,000 nor...

    Fuel sticker violation in NC

    I'm not going to consent to the illegal search. Basic law is that in order to conduct a search they MUST have probable cause. They cannot just search anyone based on no RAS or PC. This is basic 4th amendment law. If I consent to the search then sure, they'll have grounds. They can search ABSENT...
