Not QUITE entirely true. At least ONE state (CA) requires a Class A CDL with Doubles Endorsement for towing RV doubles ( defined as truck/trailer/trailer by many people). The reason being, so I have heard, is that that is the ONLY license that can have such an endorsement.
Actually, the CDL is a Federally mandated minimum. All states are free to exceed that minimum if they so desire. Any state can mandate that ALL drivers have a CDL and a current medical certificate if they decide it would enhance highway safety!
I agree, but the OP does not live in Ca, he/she lives in Ks so therefore Ca license does not pertain since he/she did not state that they were moving out there and you can only have one drivers license. I was just trying to steer this back to the original question posted and I think it would be easier to herd cats, but not near as much fun!!!
