General noob questions

Actually that is a valid concern. All states require a CDL if it is over 26,000 . That's a Federal standard. I have a class "A" CDL since I'm required to operate the Wrecker to go and retrieve broken down busses. It is not an easy thing to get. The "B" class is easier then the "A" but it still is a pain and will cost a bit of money.

Sorry to break it to you but that simply isn't true. You can say some state require a CDL but not all do. In Ohio it is for commercial use. I have posted and posted the exemptions FOR OHIO only. Your mileage will vary.

Same in the Commonwealth of Kentucky, No CDL for the farmers, Farm plates on all my big trucks, muck cheaper fees and taxes.

I'm trying to decide if I want to get an M35A2, and I have a few questions.

Is there anything else I should know?

Since you are asking general questions about the M35 and not modifying or hot rodding one, you might find more information posting and searching in the Deuce forum:

Your right. I just went and read the requirements of the "FMCSA" (federal motor carrier safety administration) and each state can dictate to a certain degree. That will be changing though. Soon there will be one Federal standard. Of course if the republicans gain control of the senate and the president next year that might change. Remember it's all about States rights.
