There is an exception for local drivers as long as you stay within the 100 air mile radius that doesnt require a log book.

That would have been perfect if you only would have posted wether or not you needed a CDl for a Under 26k truck with air brakes

In NY at least, under 26K is under 26K, brake type is irrelevant. No CDL required.

I'm not sure about OVER 26K, there may be air brake endorsements required.

I don't know if we have anything like the chauffeur requirement here, that's unfamiliar to me.

LOL I was just teasing Crash

That is a Fed regulation and its a restriction if you don't have air not an endorsement

 

when i was 18 i went and got my class 1. i was following in my dads footsteps lol. union driver.
after i got my lic. they changed it over to the new style so my dad got to take his test at homeand i had to go into dmv. they wanted another 200 to take the test and renew so i had it amended to a c i have no clue as to what i can drive lol farm tractor tow truck lol the girl at the dmv was puzzled too. the only thing i use my lic. for is to show cops lol

 

One addition to the Class B (which I have). Also applies to class C. You can haul any weight trailer, as long as your combined weight is under 26K. I have a 12K dump trailer I haul w/ my pickup. No problem. I called my state DMV about this when I bought the trailer. It's a silly rule in my opinion. I think I should be able to drive a CDL dumptruck and haul a tagalong with equipment on it. Which would mean a Class A would basically be for Tractor Trailer rigs. The girl at the DMV agreed the Class B trailer restriction is a little outdated.

That really has nothing to do with having a B or a C because you need neither for a Combo under 26k

You can pull any size trailer if the combo is under 26k with a standard Class D

A class C has no value without the proper endorsment for passengers or Hazmat

 

Probably didn't word that the best. Point I was trying to make is that a Class B is NOT restricted to 10K trailer, unless the combination exceeds 26K. We don't have class D here. Class C is the "standard" license.

I didn't see anything for a Chauffeur License sized truck (10,001 - 26,000 GVWR) with Air Brakes. I have a 19,500 UD-2000 with Air Brakes. But I did see that you have to have an Endorsment for Air Brakes for the Class A or B CDL to drive a 26,001 truck with air brakes.

Could you find this in the "regulations" for me. I hope its true, I don't want to write something up every time I leave in the morning and we stay within 50 miles. I have enough to do in the a.m.

 

florida used to require the class d license aka the chauffeurs license but since abolished it cuz so many people were buying 3/4 ton and 1 ton trucks lol to this day it is a rarity to find a f-250 or f-350 with a gas motor and for a time thats what everyone drove were the big diesels to get the millage

I'll have to find it again for ya, its a PITA to find!

Pretty much anyone driving a 1 ton pickup or larger.

When I was stopped a few years back they asked me for my log book and I told them I didn't have one. I said we work from 7-5 everyday. That is my log book. I don't travel at night or out of state.

He probably didn't give me crap because of the 100 mile rule. I would like to see it in print also.

Thanks for the link cretebaby. All i was able to find on it however was about worker hour restrictions. I didn't find anything about daily vehicle inspections.

Don't get me wrong, I do a walk around to check my vehicle, but I don't write it down. I don't want to get a ticket for not writting it down if I'm suppose to.
