Our regular Semi driver (with a CDL) was driving the toter home (registered in PA as a rec vee) He was pulled over in Texas by a county
" commercial vehicle enforcement officer" which wrote him a ticket for not having the vehicle registered as a commercial vehicle, and not having a log book.
The toter home had a 40ft trailer with spares in it for the racecar, which was inspected by the officer, along with a vehicle inspection.
I have actually driven this myself before across the US and back,(and I don't have a CDL).
So we're trying to figure out if it's even worth it to register it as a rec vee, although commercial vehicle taxes would probably be a lot higher, and if a CDL is required to drive it or not.
I would have thought that FDOT would be dealing with this, not the county..but he was doing a big business stopping rigs pulling out of Austin after the race.
Apparently it's legit in Maryland where it was registered.
Do other states not recognize rec vees from other states..or what gives?
FWIW the vehicle is not required to cross the scales.
Thanks.
