Is it actually required in Texas? In California a Class B license is also required to drive a vehicle over 26k GVWR. But if you check the fine print there is a little provision in there that exempts RV's. I have spoken with people who didn't realize RV's were exempt from that weight section.
What about in CA......
MHs over 40' but under 45'
MHs over 45'?
Trailers over 10,000#/5th wheels over 15,000#?
We weren't talking about that. The subject was simply vehicles with a GVWR over 26,000 pounds. My 35 foot DP falls in that category.
Since we are still talking about this, in case anyone was wondering, in TX if you drive a motorhome over 26K lbs AND pulling a trailer/toad weighing over 10K lbs, that would require the Class A Non-CDL exampt license.
I never expect to need to do that, so just applied for the Class B. No mention was made about towing during the testing process.
