Getting TX driver’s license for the coach
In Texas, I got my non CDL Class B license last month, in Cleburne. I drove the newer heavier 1998 U295 Foretravel to the office for the driving test, they were happy I was there to get the correct non CDL rating. There is constant confusion on CDL and non CDL license requirements. It is first weight dependent on the non CDL, C, B and A requirements. Then whether or not it is a business related driving task, where it is a regular CDL. We can drive our coaches over 26,001 pounds off the sales lot, but the serivce and sales staff has to have a CDL Class B to drive our coach. I was legal with my old class C license with the lighter 1993 U225 Foretravel. I was able to upgrade from a CM (motorcycle) to a BM.
I do see that Michigan has a RV license upgrade for double tow, when you hitch a trailer to the 5th wheel behind the truck, max length 75′, and some weight restrictions. They call it a Recreation Double.
