Crap... I read right past that. Looks like I need to slow down and read the questions carefully... Thanks Brett!

Absolutely. Because there will be times on the road that misreading or misunderstanding something might change your whole day. Heck, it might even make you famous!

I checked five state cdl manuals and all say over 400 feet. At 45 mph is over 300. Instead of 55 the question should be for 45 mph.

CDL:

Commercial Driver's License (CDL)

A CDL is required to drive any of the following vehicles:

  • Any combination of vehicles with a gross combined weight rating (GCWR) of 26,001 or more pounds, providing the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of the vehicle being towed is in excess of 10,000 pounds.
  • Any single vehicle with a GVWR of 26,001 or more pounds, or any such vehicle towing another not in excess of 10,000 pounds.
  • Any vehicle, regardless of size, designed to transport 16 or more persons, including the driver.
  • Any vehicle required by federal regulations to be placarded while transporting hazardous materials.

Ok, I had a little trouble following that but I do have news. The Feds have updated these specs and most of the state CDL manuals have followed suit but the one we're using hasn't. So I'm in the process of updating the High Road to reflect the new numbers. I should be finished updating it sometime tomorrow.

I fully understand both! Might help new and I've learned a ton here. Really great help offered by all.
