30,000 lbs behind the Ram
Clicky The Rams time was almost exactly what I expected out of a 385 hp engine. Using the same formula the 440 HP Powerstroke should have made the run in 10.5 minutes.

Is it a big deal for an RVer to get a CDL? In Canada the worst thing about having a class 1 license is that after a certain age a class one driver needs to renew his/her license every couple years, which involves getting a medical and paying some fees.
Yes, it is. As I said above, your fines and punishment are doubled if you have a CDL. If speeding is only 2 points for a regular driver then it is doubles for a CDL driver. If you get enough points then you loose your licence. A single ticket for improper lane change or speeding past a certain point is an automatic 120 day suspension of your licence.
It is just a bit stupid that a guy pulling a 12k trailer in his SRW 3500 truck that has a GCWR of 25k lbs does not need a CDL to be legal, but a the same person pulling the same 12k trailer in his DRW 3500 truck does need a CDL all because the DRW truck is rated at 27k GCWR just so the manufacturer can say it is "best in class".
