If the OP is so "bent" on CDL, then let him be the first to record his travels, road time, mileage, and dates, and submit it for audit FIRST! And if violations are found, then let him be the FIRST to be fined.
And oh... while I'm on MY HIGH HORSE ... let him be the firs to go through the weigh stations, and have his rig inspected for weights while LEO are reviewing his logs too. Force CDL on RVs, and THIS WILL follow!
