I wouldn't sweat it, most single rear axles are 40 ft. give or take a few inches. Tag axles come in when your at 42ft and over. So if you have a tag axle DP you are more then likely to be over 40 ft. and that is what the CHP would be looking for. Just my opinion take it for what it's worth.

Just because it's not mandatory, Doesn't mean you shouldn't get it. There is some very good information on the test. I have a Nevada Non commercial class "B", It's amazing how much you learn.

Over the years I have learned that questions like this on forums like this get tons of opinions and few facts. You seriously need to go directly to the CA DVM and get their opinion on the rule. Unfortunately, you cannot get them to sign some paper to document their information. But, that is the only source that I would trust.
That's my opinion.
