yes you do IMHO. more nonsense govt. regulation, hoops to jump through. just cause the driver can handle the "trailer" which can be a 6 ft. U haul type, doesn't mean they can handle a 40 ft TT.
reminds me of my friend who wanted a CDC to tow fruit back from FLA. borrowed a flat bed to take his test. easy visibility, etc. Of course he towed a box trailer in "real life".

Yea, but common things like proper hitch setup, brakes, chains, etc. that are common to all trailers would be a plus. You just have to accept that you can never eliminate or reduce "negligence" to zero.
