Seems kind of crazy anymore for a CDL to be required for hauling a trailer over 10,000 lb. With the number of very capable pickup trucks out there, it seems quite antiquated to me. I agree there needs to be a limit, but it needs to be re-thought. I have an older Dodge one ton, 11000 lb GVWR, with a 14,000 lb trailer capacity: 25,000 lb GCW. It is no Frieghtliner, but if I loaded it to capacity, I would need a different class of license to operate it. Hello?? it's a pickup truck.... 10,000 lbs is nothing anymore. With my license (Ontario DZ), I can drive an unlimited weight straight truck with air brakes, pulling a 10,000 lb max trailer. At the same time, anybody with a regular car license can operate up tp a 22,000 lb vehicle pulling a 10,000 lb trailer: 32,000lb GCW. Doesn't make sense to me....</p></blockquote><p></p>
