Re: [RC] Flatbed trucks and California laws - Lady MonalainaI have a class A permit because of the trailer that we were thinking of getting. It has been a long and painful process. Every time we go into the DMV we are met with opposition and no one knows what to do with us. I guess when horses are involved nothing is ever easy. We have decided to wait on the trailer with live-in quarters and instead will be snuggling with our ponies for warmth. I hope it goes easier for you.

Well, just to let you know... Yesterday, I stopped by the DMV and picked up the study booklet for the Class A license and, frankly, I'm warming to the whole idea. (Not the extra expense, of course, that's a pain.) But the booklet has a lot of very useful safety information. A lot of the driving instructions I had already been doing, as probably are all of you. But the hints on driving in snow, rain and ice were helpful and it would be nice to be able to pop the hood and actually know what I'm looking at. Be able to check hoses, connections, etc. That will save money because up to now, every time I headed out on a long trip, I took the rig to my mechanic and had him go over it. Anyway, I still haven't made up my mind about the flatbed, but at least it's not all bad. Dyane (soon to be easing into the weigh stations with the big boys)
