I have looked on Google and I am not having luck finding something, and I am not finding it in my Texas CDL handbook, so I am either missing it, or it is not where I can find it.

If you know the answer, can you cite a source?
Thanks,

Hey Pepper, I don't have a source for the Tx pre trip but I was wondering if you saw this post by moderator Daniel B? I found it very informative and helpful. I hope you do to.

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

Yes, I saw that and also that it and some others were very informative. I will call the TX DPS office on Monday and ask there. I figure that they should know! :) After that and some other questions, I will post everything that I find here for everyone else as well. Trying to remain focused and upbeat.
