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.

No, it was a day cab (no sleeper) with a 40' trailer. This was in Oceanside Ca. We later transferred and I was retiring soon so I let it expire and just have a regular Texas license. I drove charter Buses for awhile while in college and was required to make a "Y" turn by backing it into a alley. This later proved useful when I ended up at First and Hope St in LA. Itdead ended into the LA library and I had to back out of that mess.I had to get help from LAPD due to the traffic. I was relying on directions from the pack master of the scouts I was taking to camp in Vista Ca. The kids though it was funny.

Now to find a Semi to get a Class A or if I take it in the bus I will only get a Class B. I prefer an A. That way I can haul chickens around here in retirement. lol Leroy Eckert 1990 WB-40 Smoke N Mirrors Dahlonega, GA Royale Conversion > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Leroy Eckert > To: WanderlodgeForum@ yahoogroups. com > Sent: Mon, 30 Mar 2009 8:37 pm > Subject: RE: [WanderlodgeForum] Texas RV Drivers License > > > > > > > > > > > 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. > Leroy Eckert > 1990 WB-40 Smoke N Mirrors > Dahlonega, GA > Royale Conversion > > --- On Mon, 3/30/09, Chet Geist wrote: > > > From: Chet Geist > Subject: RE: [WanderlodgeForum] Texas RV Drivers License > To: WanderlodgeForum@ yahoogroups. com > Date: Monday, March 30, 2009, 9:23 PM > > > > > > > ? > > 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 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. > > ? > > Chet Geist > > 1981/FC33/ Austin, Texas > > ? > > > -----Original Message----- > From: WanderlodgeForum@ yahoogroups. com [mailto:Wanderlodge Forum@yahoogroup s.com]On Behalf Of Wallace Craig > Sent: Monday, March 30, 2009 6:33 PM > To: WanderlodgeForum@ yahoogroups. com > Subject: Re: [WanderlodgeForum] Texas RV Drivers License > > > > > > > > > > > > Wallace Craig > > 95 WLWB 42 > > Azle, Texas > > > --- On Mon, 3/30/09, Wallace Craig wrote: > > > From: Wallace Craig > Subject: [WanderlodgeForum] Texas RV Drivers License > To: wanderlodgeforum@ yahoogroups. com, "wanderlodge forum" , "ron marabito" , "Ernie Eckbert" , "Ralph Fullenwider" > Date: Monday, March 30, 2009, 6:28 PM > > > > > > > > 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.?

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 DPS???states? that the test must be in the class vehicle they would like to drive.?
