I remember one year at Dumont, the CHP pulled over all the rigs pulling double, out came the tape measure and lets see your commercial drivers license with doubles endorsement.
It was the Nevada people who were legal in their State and not Kalif.
You need to know the rules from your State and any others you plan to visit.
I had a commercial license for 25 years, but never considered pulling doubles, just too much hassle.
Well I'd say if you know someone in AZ use their address for you DL I have an AZ and a CA. Note: They would be legal in both states due to
reciprocity law.
Actually thats not true. If it were you would see real trips being towed in Cali. It specificlly states 75' double tow in cali and 65' single trailer. With the 28.5' traiIer requirement for the 75' law.
We had a driver just a few months back get an over lenght ticket here in cali. He was 73'. He asked the officer (btw, a city cop not chp) why out of state truck come in way over lenght. The officer told him "they (drivers) are not driving in the city limits. Which of course is BS. But nonetheless he got a ticket for being overlenght. It has nothing to do with what lic you carry in which state. You need to know what the laws are you will be towing in.
After rereading, I think you are talking about the license it self not the state laws.
