Texas CDL class B

[Don Bradner]

It is amazing how long these arguments can go. There's a current thread about
non-CDL As and Bs on rv.net that has been going for months. A recent post
contained (love the spelling, etc):


The following was a reply from DPS Austin.

Dear Mr. T____:

Thank you for allowing the Department of Public Safety to assist you. According
to Federal regulations, as long as a motor home is for personal recreational
purposes only, yes it would be exempt from being a CDL. However it could still
be a class A or B non-CDL depending on the weight, and if you were to be towinq
a vehicle you could be required to have a combination and or double or triples
endorsement. You would still be required to take the written test and the
driving test.

Basically all the non-exemption is for is to keep you from having to pay the
$60.00 for a CDL, but all the requirements still stand, depending on weight and
what you are towning.

If I can be of futher assistance please feel free to contact me.

Sincerely,
