Look at the shiny!
I think you mean Class A or Class B license, not CDL. Also, it's 26,001lbs, not 26.5k, sorry.There is no way I no of operating one In CA without a CDL, that goes for the M939s as well. Just the air brakes alone does it in here. Add to that over 26.5 GVWR then add 3 axles on a vehicle over 6k. Any one of those means you need some sort of Class B at least. You even need a class A if you tow an equipment trailer with your pick up if the trailer has a GVWR of 10K or over. (You can get one without Air Brakes certification for that.) That doesn't mean people do it all the time, and only those CHP with the black and white trucks seem to know the laws either. You never want one of them behind you driving without.
I was trying to find the current CA farm exemption laws for you, but I'm having difficulty finding what I'm looking for. The new changes to the CA DMV websites have made finding things pretty ridiculous. You're going to have to go in to your local DMV and ask some questions, and hope that you get a clerk who understands what you're after. The DMV offices in Fresno and Clovis were most helpful when I lived in the Central Valley, but that's an agricultural community so it was pretty easy. And that was nearly fifteen years ago. I understand a lot has changed since then.Obviously I am confusing CDL with Class. I thought needing a Class A or Class B basically means you need to have a commercial drivers license as you have to take special tests written and driving and I think a Medical exam as well, with many/most applicants taking some sort of schooling to do so. But I do know you may need certain A or B versions for certain Motor homes or certain towing configurations with travel trailers, which aren't commercial. Also last night I was trying to remember if it was 26 or 26.5k, (I picked the wrong one!) My overall point was in California you cant legally drive a M1070 or a M939 with just a typical class C drivers license.(except for Farm exemption I see) And you really cant even pull a trailer with your pick up that is rated high enough to hold even a bobcat without risking going over 10k GVWR, which puts you into needing some version of a Class A license. BY the way I am a farmer, whats the way to go about registering these for Farm use? Thanks NIck
Yes, you are expected to pay up front regardless of how long the EUC process takes. On the bright side, I don't think they are taking 60 days. Probably more like 20 to 30 days. dispute is another matter altogether, time wise.Also, since my other question was never answered by GLS and its kinda buried on here now, I again would like to ask those of you who have gone through the M1070 EUC process through GLS which in case of the first time they said can take up to 60 days, and in some cases I hear the sale may also get cancelled/disputed as well, does GLS still want everything paid for up front and then have to return it if the sale doesn't go through, or do they only ask for payment after the EUC has been processed. Thanks
You can get anything stuck. The problem with getting a big truck stuck is that it usually requires a bigger truck (depending on how bad it's stuck) or a large piece of heavy equipment to get it unstuck.Opps! This is one bad truck. This was an operator issue.
