Register at 10 tons instead of 12, it will be about $205 then:-D most of us wont be hauling full gross rating with an antique anyway. With that, fees & taxes I'll spend about $400 when the day comes.

I called ahead to the license station to make sure it was OK & they said no problem. When I got there, they passed it around among 3 of them & all agreed it was fine. They even went by the received date instead of the auction end date, which would have been more than 30 days. Too bad they...

GL. Hopefully have a title in a week or so. I just carry my invoice with recieved on date at the bottom so I can drive it 30 days without plates-they were fine with that at the license station. I picked mine up a day or two before you at Camp Dodge.

They told me as long as the truck had all the stuff it came with in working order you'r good to go for the test, but no it would not pass a commercial truck inspection as-is.

If I would have done the walkaround check I could have got a CDL-B, but I didnt want to chance a failure for a license upgrade that wouldn't do me any good. I stuck with the chauffeurs D-2 for simplicity. No air brake endorsement required under 26000 Lbs here. Believe it or not the manual does...

Well, I took the driving test today & passed easily. I got the woman everyone said was mean and she was really nice & all smiles as she climbed in. I asked her if she had ever given a test in any MV & she said this was a first, I think she's been there over 25 years. She was commenting on my...

Since 1990 they have gone by GVWR, not curb weight for DL requirements, and its considered 23500# GVWR no matter what tonnage I license it for. I got a confirmation email from DOT yesterday about the text from the above post about "occasional operator" exemption. They said it does not apply to...

I just sent a reply to DOT & pasted that section from page 64 of the drivers manual ( page 66 online , page 64 on paper version) to see what response I get. It would be nice to get out of it, no sense having a more expensive license if I dont need it. I too have a copy of that in my truck...

They said a CDL-B is the exact same test & cost except for chauffeurs D-2 there is no walk around safety test. dont really need CDL-B , and I dont want a CDL-A, I would get stuck trucking tractors all over for work then which I dont want. I just like wrenching.

I agree. I got varied answers at a local level so I contacted DOT directly. Told them it was an antique vehicle, strictly for recreational use in parades,etc. They said chauffeurs D-2 required.

Have to have a chauffeurs license in Iowa for 16000-26000# GVWR straight truck unless your a volunteer firefighter. They dont care if its just a toy or not. Got the written test done & will drive test Tuesday in my Deuce. Can't wait to see the womans face when she sees her morning ride:-D...
