Lmackattack Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Every state has its own laws, but many share the same rules, just written differently. What state are you in? We likely have a member here from your state than can give a better answers based on that.

HeavyGunner Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 You might be able to register your truck as an rv in SC. People are doing that here in MT and pulling campers and horse trailers without a cdl. If you are going to do ANY work/driving commercially here with a 1 ton pickup or bigger at minimum you have to get a class d cdl. Not sure if this helps much but it'll give you somethings to explore. 1 Quote The problems we face today exist because the people who work for a living are outnumbered by the people who vote for a living.The government can only "give" someone what they first take from another.

In SC you can put an Antique Auto tag on it which has no gross weight and pull a regularly licensed trailer with YOU OWN stuff on it as long as you meet normal weight laws. with NO CDL!!

Basically it states you are only using the truck for personal use and not for hire. You are not getting paid and that includes prize money, trophies, etc. It is not licensed as an Antique (1992 model) but as a commercial vehicle. Since it is not an antique (25 years old) I put the exemption number on the side to hopefully eliminate any questions. If your vehicle is licensed as an Antique you should not need an exemption. But as others have stated, check with your local DMV.

Brocky Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Our DPS man defines "commercial" as either the truck and/or driver recieving ANY FORM of compensation..

JTFormula Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 In NJ as long as its registered as Historic a CDL is not required since its no longer for commercial use. I'm still planning on using the General to get my CDL anyway but its not required. 1 Quote ~ JT Burkard ~ AKA Sweaty Mackwww.jtresto.com www.wickedreputation.netwww.jonathanthomasmotorcars.com Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/41107-dmv-exemption/#findComment-298391 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maddog13407 Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 I remember one show I went to, cant remember which but someone said they were getting hassled by the men in suits at a weigh station check that they should have been waved right on thru. said they asked them everything under the sun about their historic plates including ''do you receive any cash prizes and do you sell any t shirts at the show that you transported in your truck??'' unreal.

CaseyB42 Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 I recently acquired a B-42 and live in Connecticut. Has anyone here had any experience with registering a B in Connecticut for non-commercial use? I was also hoping to paint the name of my business on the truck, although that is more for personal pride. I sent the sn to the Mack Museum in July and I am looking forward to learning more about the truck and developing a plan to paper/register it before I invest too much into getting it rolling again.

mattb73lt Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 CaseyB42, I have mine registered as a classic with antique insurance. No issues with it or putting your name on it. It's for non-commercial purposes and only hauling my stuff. No CDL required due to the registration. I do have a placard on the body, "Not For Hire" to lesson any out ouf state issues. Have only been stopped once in twenty years by a CT DMV inspector who had no idea what he was doing.

CaseyB42 Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Matt, thank you. I may reach out again when I have the paperwork in my hand to ask for a bit more advice. I haven't figured out how to post a picture here yet, but will put some up soon. It is a B-42X with an 18 spd. I got it running and drove it back and forth a bit a few weeks back. The brake and gas pedal are corroded solid, I have the replacements and need to make a temporary fuel system (and some time to go visit the truck again).My next question will be regarding what appears to be split rims on the front. I aired them up to 45 lbs but would appreciate guidance on how cautious I need to be around them.

mattb73lt Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Casey, Contact me anytime. Looks like a good starting point with that truck. It'll be slow, though, with that 402. Mine started off that way, but with a Duplex. It was about a 50 MPH truck.

Dieseldriver65 Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 You guys in CT sure about no CDL?Good friend of mine lives there and they are telling him he MUST get one due to the weight,they don't care about how it's registered or insured.DMV,State Police and DOT are telling him this! 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/41107-dmv-exemption/#findComment-300109 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattb73lt Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 I'm double checking right now. But that was the case, unless something changed recently. Also, if below 26,001#'s, no requirement.

mattb73lt Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 I'm sure and nothing has changed. In CT the requirement for a CDL rests with how the vehicle is registered. Commercial plates/ weights set the requirement for it. If the vehicle(truck) is registered as a now Classic Vehicle (used to be Early American plate) and is not used for commercial purposes there is no requirement for aCDL and weight class doesn't apply.Aditionally, as long as you're carrying your own property the same would apply. Trailers seem to be a grey area as there is no Classic tag for them, just Commercial and Camp Trailer. I couldn't get clarity on this area, but I wouldn't think you'd have issues as long as it was your property.The Classic plate here is essentionally an antique passenger plate with no commercial purpose. Think Combination/Commercial for reimbursement/pay purposes.Issues you can have are if you appear to be doing commercial things with a Classic plate you will be subject to further inquiries/inspections/licences.Equipment violations will still stand. Tires, lights, hazardous conditions would be the same as in any vehicle. Theoretically, you could spec out a brand new dump truck, buy it, register it as a Passenger vehicle and use it as a daily driver/ grocery getter and no CDL would be required, as long as it was for personal use. Hopefully, this helps a little. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/41107-dmv-exemption/#findComment-300118 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I aired them up to 45 lbs but would appreciate guidance on how cautious I need to be around them.With rust and the age of the rims, I would advise extreme caution. One memeber had the rim on his F model come apart from rust where water collected from it sitting. He was lucky to be "only" cut and bruised, could have lost a limb or his life quite easily. air them down when you remove them and I personally would look the rims and lock rings over very closely for any damage or deterioration.

CaseyB42 Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 These were at 20ish psi when I found them and I aired them up to 45. I would like to add more unless that sounds like a bad idea. Primary focus now is just making the truck self sufficient enough to load/unload and pull into driveway. Maybe air them up with welding gloves and a motorcycle helmet?
