Last April RIVA asked DOT for permission to alter the 26000 pound limit for CDL drivers. As a result, for the next 5 years, a CDL is not required if the ACTUAL weight (not GVWR) is at or below 26,000 pounds. This was done because CDL drivers for RV deliveries are getting scarce for what they are paid.
Perhaps raising the pay scale to attract certified drivers, instead of lowering licensing standards, would be better for public safety... after all, that's what requiring a CDL is all about, keeping the roads safe... and the RV industry can certainly afford it.
