The scenarios you present, have been discussed, ad nauseum, for well over a decade , before you joined. Bottom line? Your concerns are, at best statistically improbable. In reality. When it comes to things like having your rig, "impounded" well, that's drifting into paranoid territory. Your life, do what you feel comfortable with. I suppose that somewhere, somebody straps on a life jacket and a football helmet before they get behind the wheel, to protect themselves from risks that they are concerned with. That doesn't mean that I'm heading out to shop for a football helmet, any time soon.
Your claim that everything you discuss is "real" is something you really need to give some thought to, since it simply incorrect. Your rig is NOT going to be impounded. You will NOT be denied coverage in an accident. You will NOT be cited for NOT having a license, possibly required in PA. if you are stopped in ANOTHER state, and on and on.
Relax, be safe, operate safe equipment, and stop attempting to create issue for yourself that simply do not exist. If you feel better with a CDL great, but don't make blanket statements about "the way it is, on the roadways of PA" that are simply not true. Be careful, enjoy yourself, and good luck........................
Got it. This thread wasn't about your tolerance for risk.
It was about how I could mate my 5er up to a flatbed pickup with a goose ball.
Any insight into that?
(I've done my homework on licensing, and am deciding to become legal as best as possible in the eyes of the law, to mitigate as much risk as possible should the statistically improbable (not impossible) occur.)
