Originally posted by: 2mnyToyz I will say that the new RV has a much bigger feel to it, width wise. Even though they're both the same width. I prefer to do the required truck speed limit in this one.

Don't forget, if you tow anything behind your rig, you must obey the posted truck speed limit, I thought we covered this after TP got his ticket?

Well, this just settles it. I'm gonna go buy me an old long nose Peterbuilt and hang a 53 foot refer box with a lift gate on the back of it, put all my junk inside, call it my RV toyhauler and terrorize the hi-ways. Gonna take up half the parking lot at any trail ride and carry the bigest dang B-B-Q you ever saw with me. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] Can you imagine how much beer you could cool in one of those things?
Wonder if I'd have to put tonnage on it? [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

Their are things trained techs overlook on some PM services. WE (at work) just learned an expensive lesson on Mechanics and their responsibilities..........It is still MY responsibility to check for defects in My equip. braking system etc. (even though I'm a driver) That said when I do brake adjustments I'm responsable for checking S-cam shafts, shoe thickness, auto slacks, Air can leaks and Air leaks in general. I do have the power to tell my employer that "This piece of equip." will not be leaving our terminal UNTILL a Mechanic has done an inspection of my suspicions.
Take the time next service and talk to your tech/mechanic if you can. Sometime they are a well of knowledge to "What to look out for" that not only helps them with what YOU might think is going on, It help you to "money wise" (it's cheaper to head a problem off)

I'm big on proper service by a professional on my stuff. I can turn wrenches on my small stuff, but when it comes to things I have to rely on, I pay the $$$. They have the proper tools and supposedly the training and experience. I took it in right after I bought it for a chassis service. I was suprised at how much the went over, lubed and adjusted.

However, I do appreciate any and all advice on things you think I should know.

Same law in Texas, but over 26,000 you need a special endorsment, not connected to the CDL in any way. They say many states are going to this new endorsment to generate revenue, charging you for the endorsment and getting caught on the road without one, if you're licensed in that state. California has the over 40' MH endorsment, you need it only if you are licensed in California.

Standard License with a Class C endorsement............????????
Is this JUST Illinois ???????????
It's also a state law and not federal law that governs CDL drivers..........

Guess it varies from state to state
