Double towing

Been gone for awhile. Just wondering if any changes pulling 5th wheel and boat in Oregon and Washington. Thanks

    I am licensed SD where it is legal. CA recognizes SD so I am legal in CA without an endorsement. I think I will give it a shot this Summer in OR and WA.

    I guess what reason do they have to pull me over??? I may have a CDL, or I may not.
  • Double tow here in CA, have a CDL with a doubles endorsement. 65' max.
  • Yes, I have several times on both coasts. I've never been bothered. My rig is legal in my home state of Texas, good enough for me.

    I'm not a fan of "state-rights", leads to many silly local laws. Makes no sense that when you cross a political line on the interstate you become a law- breaker.

    Either it's safe, or it's not. My setup is safe.

    Ditto for Oregon.
    Yet the pro's can pull triples on the interstates!!!!
