Texas RV Drivers License
LeRoy..I just took the Ga. CDL test and it was not too difficult..the air brake endorsement was a little tricky..If you are a veteran make sure to show your DD214 as the license is cheaper and you will never have to pay for a renewal..I had to go to a VA clinic to certify the DD214 prior to applying for the license..Jim Barone fulltiming in a 1991 WBWL currently in Savannah

Just for the hell of it, I am going to take the written CDL General Knowledge test, the Air Brake endorsement, and the Combination endorsement tomorrow here in GA. If I can scrounge up a semi from a friend I will get a Class A; if not I will get a class B in the BB. Assuming I pass the written. It should not be a problem but the mock test questions I have taken in preparation try to trick you. All the way back to College I have never seen the benefit of that. 40 questions on each test; 80% accuracy required. Plus a DOT physical.

Chuck,
When I took the test it was thirteen questions on a computer. Matter covered is on a small number of chapters in the CDL book and they tell you what chapters to study. Mostly lengths, lights, weights and things like that. Then I took about a two mile road test with a DPS officer in the Bluebird. His parting words were "Did you notice I didn't ask you how you got it here without a license". I real nice officer.

Curious what the Texas test consisted of. I had a CDL until I retired from the railroad but never thought about needing something special for the Wanderlodge.

Wallace,
I checked this out about three or four years ago and at the time I was given a lot of advise on this forum that I had not read the law correctly. I also had people tell me that I should just take a chance and not bother to get a correct license. I did not follow all that free advise and went ahead took the test and got my no restriction class B license My present license is good until 2013 and if I am still driving a coach I will get it renewed.

In the April issue of FMCA magazine at page 70 there is a brief article that purports to set forth that motorhomes weighing in excess of 26,000 requires that the operator have a Texas Class B noncommercial license. It requires a written and driving test and cost $10. Normally, one might entertain the idea of simply taking ones chances; however I am concerned about the legal ramifications on ones libality insurance coverage. I can imagine that an insurance carried would take the position that the vehicle was being operated without a proper license and that such is a violation of the policy terms and would void the policy. I am unaware of the case law (if any) in Texas on this issue but would not care to test the law with the insurance carrier in case of an accident. A spokesperson for the Texas DPSstatesthat the test must be in the class vehicle they would like to drive. Ernie, this may mean that several of us need to get together an go at once in a texas lic coach.
Comments??
