    Nevada - 5 ton's license plates pulled by DMV

    In 2015 the state legislature amended the Classic Vehicle/Classic Rod laws to limit the allowable vehicles to a weight-carrying capacity of one ton or less, and it is not grandfather-able. I suspect that this is the origination of the OP of this thread to begin with. So in essence, only...

    Nevada - 5 ton's license plates pulled by DMV

    Whoever told you that is wrong. Our local MV club members had a meeting with the Assistant Director for the DMV several months ago, and she said that there is NOTHING that prohibits former MVs from being registered, as long as all of the NRS/DMV requirements are met. The only issue, as she...

    Nevada - 5 ton's license plates pulled by DMV

    LOL let's not count our proverbial chickens before they hatch... :mrgreen: I've had very good luck with the NV DMV in a variety of different areas, just trying to pass along my experiences and what worked for me. The same cannot be said of others here, especially with the Ely DMV branch....

    Nevada - 5 ton's license plates pulled by DMV

    The East Sahara DMV is also a good option; the head VIN inspector there (Ken) is very MV-friendly. Nomadic had the best advice; don't mention anything about problems registering it, and if they ask why you're coming to Clark County to register it, just mention that you work in Vegas so you're...

    Nevada - 5 ton's license plates pulled by DMV

    In reference to the original posting that started this thread, I have consulted NRS and several other DMV & NHP sources. Changes were made in 2015 legislative session to NRS in regards to various registrations for these trucks that some people were using to save money; restrictions were added...

    Nevada - 5 ton's license plates pulled by DMV

    My local MVPA Chapter is working closely with NV legislators and DMV brass, trying to introduce a new Military Vehicle license plate statute in the next legislative session ("Historic Military Vehicle"). M939s CAN be registered as either personal vehicles or commercial vehicles in the state of...

    Nevada - 5 ton's license plates pulled by DMV

    What exactly are you talking about here, or trying to get at? Why do you keep throwing around the CDL terms, when several posts (on Page 1 of this thread) specifically address NON-COMMERCIAL driver's licenses? Why do you keep posting so-called examples from the state of Washington when we're...

    Nevada - 5 ton's license plates pulled by DMV

    Nevada law is quite well-defined and quite specific. Several posters have already outlined this earlier in this thread. Nevada makes definite distinctions between commercial & non-commercial driver's licenses; again, this is pointed out clearly earlier in this same thread on Page 1. If the...

    Nevada - 5 ton's license plates pulled by DMV

    I can give you a definite answer. What does the data plate for your M813A1 state as the GVWR? If over 26K, please refer to Tom's post above.

    Nevada - 5 ton's license plates pulled by DMV

    If the truck is associated with or an integral part of your doing business, then YES....GVWR over 26K-lbs used for business, requires CDL.

    Nevada - 5 ton's license plates pulled by DMV

    Those are all good points; I prefer the "gray areas" as by default it is supposed to favor the defendant. Most of the non-commercial laws tend to be pretty gray and open to some interpretation. DMV employees interpret a law or ruling one way, and enforcement (troopers) may interpret it another...

    Nevada - 5 ton's license plates pulled by DMV

    One more thing, Tom: I have also personally asked NHP Motor Carrier enforcement troopers about non-commercial inspections. I've been told almost to a man that they are primarily focused on commercial carriers, and not non-commercial. If you read between the lines in the DMV N/C DL handbook...

    Nevada - 5 ton's license plates pulled by DMV

    No apology necessary; you're a good man Tom, and I hope you are able to enjoy your truck for many years of trouble-free miles. Thank you for posting the DL study guide; everything on the test is right inside that booklet. HINT: Your drive tester may try to slyly block your passenger-side...

    Nevada - 5 ton's license plates pulled by DMV

    There is an air brake endorsement; it is incorporated with the Class A or B licensing, regardless if commercial or non-commercial. Because of the long history of farming & ranching in NV, the Non-Commercial designation is primarily used for these folks to move their equipment from location to...

    Nevada - 5 ton's license plates pulled by DMV

    NV honors "reciprocity" with respect to DMV regs for each state. As long as you are legal in your state (i.e., non-commercial MV covered by DL regardless of weight), then you are OK in NV....if you are not required to have any special endorsements for your MV with a GVWR over 26,001-lbs in your...

    Nevada - 5 ton's license plates pulled by DMV

    I'm glad that you had no issues registering your truck, and I hope that your camper build goes well so that you can enjoy many many years & miles of enjoyment from it. [thumbzup]

    Nevada - 5 ton's license plates pulled by DMV

    Not to mention that I personally confirmed with NHP investigators that if you are involved in any type of collision/accident, your GVWR WILL be looked at and be an issue...as well as major issues from your insurance company.

    Nevada - 5 ton's license plates pulled by DMV

    They must have done you a favor or you have a close friend working at the CC DMV then; NRS states that the GVWR listed on the data plate will determine if you need additional licensing requirements....if stamped GVWR is 26,001 pounds and above, your Class C driver's license won't cut it. Just...

    NAILED IT!! [thumbzup][thumbzup]

    Nevada - 5 ton's license plates pulled by DMV

    Depends upon what year the trucks are and how they were registered. If over 26K GVW, which absolutely should have been noted on VIN Inspection form by VIN inspector, you can either register it commercially or privately. Both will be dependent upon the dry weight of the vehicle for registration...
