Jim DeZerga Posted August 9, 2018 Report Share Posted August 9, 2018 http://changingears.com/rv-sec-state-rv-license.shtml I know there's been a lot of discussions on Class A or B non commercial licensing requirements. I've seen two for Texas and Florida. I just completed my skills and drive test here in Nevada for my NCDL Class A for a GCWR of 28.3Klbs. The requirements in NV are pretty much the same as elsewhere with a few exceptions. The link provided is a state by state rundown. Notice that CO and VA only require a Class C. Amazing to me. NV has a J endorsement as well, so my question is, what happens if someone from CO or VA is stopped by a trooper in TX or NV or CA? My understanding is that in either of those states, they cannot apply for a NCDL Class A, if that is what would be required in other states. Anyone with experience in this area? I know I'm good to go. Just wondering... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRP Posted August 9, 2018 Report Share Posted August 9, 2018 The states have all agreed to enforce licensing per the drivers home state requirements. So if you're from SD, CO, VA or several other states that require no special license for over 26,000 lbs, you have no worry driving through other states that have different requirements. Another example for those that have been around awhile, back when some states first started requiring motorcycle endorsements and other states had not yet created such a requirement. As long as you're legal in your home state, you're legal throughout the USA, as far as non commercial licensing. That's for the driver, but each locality can enforce their own equipment, weight & noise restrictions. Meaning, any non-factory modifications like window tint or custom muffler may be legal in state x but may not be legal in state z. and using your jake brake may be illegal in certain towns. etc Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad Heiser Posted August 9, 2018 Report Share Posted August 9, 2018 Driver licence and vehicle registration are reciprocal between states. If you are legal in your home state, you are legal in all 50 states. On edit: JRP typed faster than I did, but he is correct in his assessment as well. Laws pertaining to length, doubles, and various other things are state by state, but driver license and registration are reciprocal in any state. 2000 Kenworth T2000 w/ Cummins N14 and autoshift 2017 DRV Mobile Suite 40KSSB4 with factory mods, dealer mods and personal mods - now in the RV graveyard 2022 DRV Full House MX450 with customized floor plan 2018 Polaris RZR Turbo S (fits in the garage) 2016 Smart Car (fits in the garage or gets flat towed behind the DRV when the RZR is in the garage)My First Solar Install ThreadMy Second Solar Install Thread & Photos and Documents Related to the buildMy MX450's solar, battery and inverter system - my biggest system yet! chadheiser.com West Coast HDT Rally Website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
