You and I do not read this article the same and I will undertake a further searchnext week when I have access to a law library Hopefully I can find a case or an attorney generals opinion; in the meantime I still contend that part 383 entitled Commercial Drivers license and list classA,B,AND Wallace Craig 95 WLWB 42 Azle, Texas --- On Thu, 4/2/09, Don Bradner wrote: From: Don Bradner Subject: Re: [WanderlodgeForum] Attention Todd Moning To: WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com Date: Thursday, April 2, 2009, 9:45 PM Wallace, Chaper 522 is purely about Commercial licenses. In fact the title of the Chapter is "Commercial Driver's Licenses," and you used the term CDL in your post. The FMCA article is very clear: "drivers whose motorhomes' GVWR exceeds 26,000 pounds should hold an exempt (noncommercial) Class B or Class A license." Note the very, very, important "non" in front of commercial. The section which requires a Class B for over 26K is 521.082. Whether a Class B is CDL or non-CDL is a separate matter. You are correct that a CDL is not required. Your are wrong about not needing a Class B.
