Double Haul rules in CA?

What are the rules or laws regarding double hauling in California?
  • Yep a CDL with the proper endorsements and a valid physical card, or a Green card as we called them.
  • You might want to check this out:

    But unless you have a specific endorsement on your license, you may not be allowed. (from page 29 of the above manual)

    One other thing to consider—you may only tow one vehicle with your noncommercial Class A, B, or C driver license. You may not tow two vehicles or trailers with a noncommercial Class A, B, or C driver license. ExAMPLE: You cannot tow a boat trailer and a car behind your vehicle

    Page 29 of the CA Recreational vehicles and Trailers handbook points out the words below.

    Hope this helps a little.
