We had dinner tonight with our good friend that's a Tx commercial vehicle safety compliance auditor. She says as to the wrap, if below 26000lbs combined and you DONOT travel out of your state you are ok unless California law , But if you cross state line at any weight it's CDL & DOT numbers.
Hmm, let me get this straight..
You say that you have talked to a TEXAS "commercial vehicle safety auditor" about this matter which is not taking place in Texas?
Then you say that the TX auditor says it is OK as long as they stay inside CA?
That is "hearsay"..
The TX auditor has no connection or jurisdiction in CA and therefore is not the final "Authority" on this matter.
Once again, this thread IS an example as to why the OP NEEDS to consult their LOCAL DMV Authorities to get the REAL scoop instead of the remote armchair ones.
The TX auditor could be correct about crossing state lines, however, once again, the OP NEEDS to consult with their proper Authorities in order to make sure they have ALL of the legal possibilities covered.
I wish the OP good luck to your adventure.
I will type real slow this time so Californians Might understand.
If you CROSS any state line with commercial signage on the rv you are now subject to FEDERAL commercial rules. DoT number & CDL will be required. If he stays in Kali & stays under 26000 gvwr he is ok unless kalifornicate has rules on this that differ greatly from most states.
