Texas RV Drivers License

[Bob Lawrence]

Hi Ryan,
As a CDL license holder with a P (Passenger)endorsement from Washington state, I
feel your pain (hate using a Clinton blurb).
I have found that the boys in blue do cut me some slack when they catch me
speeding a little over the limit. They know what this does to your Class A
license.
The plus side is my insurance for the car and a separate one for the bus have
earned me a discount.
