Re: New tow vehicle
No Cigarette stickers but I might put the boat name on the sides in small letters. The idea is to not give the D.O.T. the idea that the truck is being used for commercial purposes.
Mark, I can pull your boat down but I can't accept payment for the reason above.

Re: New tow vehicle
Mark just leave a few cases of beer in the boat for him maybe on of those swanky bottles of liquor. Make sure you put not for hire on both sides of the truck, for when you go through the scales. If you ever need a back up driver in a pinch let me know i Gots one of them their CDL thingy's.

Re: New tow vehicle
This unit doesn't require a CDL as it's titled and licensed in Michigan as a motorhome. It doesn't need to run across the scales either unless I'm pulling a permitted load like the 39 Ocean Express, which requires an overwidth permit for Michigan, Indiana and Illinois.
And no Mark, I won't pull without the proper permits. It doesn't cost that much to be legal, especially the way the insurance companies are getting these days. Not to mention the weighmasters and their portable scales and ticket pads.
