Drivers License renewal MA
Our Class A weights 31k. When I renewed my Class D Massachusetts drivers license online about a week ago, it clearly stated the Class D license was for vehicles less then 26,001 pounds. I received it today and on the back it only lists school buses as an exception. It does have a place for endorsements.
I do plan on calling the MA RMV Monday, but in the meantime does anyone know what is going on?
If I get stopped driving our RV out of state, I could get a ticket for driving without the proper license. Also, the class D description below seems to contradict what is on the back of my new license.
Thank you,
Paul
