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 aware of it. You're required to abide by the truck speed limit if it's over 10,000lbs.
Correct me if I'm wrong, State Patrol says any vehicle in combination, regardless of weight, must obey truck speed limit.

I don't know about the combination part. Either way, my pickup + 2,300lbs, or my MH alone meet the requirement.

Guess it varies from state to state
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..........
Same law in Texas, but over 26,000 you need a special endorsement, not connected to the CDL in any way. They say many states are going to this new endorsement to generate revenue, charging you for the endorsement and getting caught on the road without one, if you're licensed in that state. California has the over 40' MH endorsement, you need it only if you are licensed in California.
Well Happy has proved that a special Liscence is required for RVer, I stand corrected. NOW my next question is When you pay your money and get your RV endoresment do you need to show prove of "HOW TO" or do they just turn you lose and tell ya to "have a nice day"
TNE's original question indicated a driver in this area, Washington, as I understood it. Unless they, the other states that are requiring various endorsements, have decided to challenge the standing reciprocity agreement with this state we should have no problems driving thru their jurisdiction. On the other hand, most scale house monkeys tend to do as they see fit at the time.

Even my little S-10 with a little trailer and load of a few hundred pounds has to be at the truck speed limit or below. A motorcycle with a trailer has to follow the truck limit and is not allowed in the HOV lane.

RCW:46.61.415

(2) The maximum speed limit for vehicles over ten thousand pounds gross weight and vehicles in combination except auto stages shall not exceed sixty miles per hour and may be established at a lower limit by the secretary as provided in RCW 46.61.405.

(3) The word "trucks" used by the department on signs giving notice of maximum speed limits means vehicles over ten thousand pounds gross weight and all vehicles in combination except auto stages.

Ok, here's a dumb question, what is their definition of auto stages?

RCW 46.04.050
Auto stage.

"Auto stage" means any motor vehicle used for the purpose of carrying passengers together with incidental baggage and freight or either, on a regular schedule of time and rates: PROVIDED, That no motor vehicle shall be considered to be an auto stage where substantially the entire route traveled by such vehicle is within the corporate limits of any city or town or the corporate limits of any adjoining cities or towns.

I read that in California, you need to pass a written and driving test with said 40+ MH.

In Texas, you just need to pass a written test, from what I read and understand, but don't quote me that you don't have to take a driving test in Texas.

It prints out on your license like a motorcycle or CDL endorsement does.

Not trying to correct anybody, just in a researching mood tonight [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
