What does the nameplate say about weights on the 5 ton? I have my Deuce registered as a 'Pick-up' here in Texas with a 18,000# Max gvw (13,000 + 2 1/2 tons). Wondering if I could do the same with a 5 Ton and avoid the whole need a CDL thingy. Texas says a driver needs a CDL if the Max GVWR is...

My Deuces made it home today... (thanks to Mike with Kinetic Frieght Services http://kineticfreight.com/ , great service and rates, and yes, you can get 2 deuces on a 44' drop deck)... one had both lower torque rod rubbers torn out, so it took some rigging with chains and a ratchet binder to get...

AND Happy Thanksgiving to ALL!
