Do you need any special license endorsement to drive that rig? Around here I think you can drive anything under 24,000lbs with your regular G lic, as long as it doesn't have air brakes.

Just got home about noon today with our new (used) tow rig. Did the deal in my usual fly by the seat of my pants, leap of faith fashion. 
Found it on the internet, wired the guy a grand and booked a one-way flight to Texas. Flew down, the guy met me at the airport with the truck and his wife following him. I gave him a check and signed the papers and hauled azz heading east.
No real issues, other than being detained by the PoPo in Arkansas for an hour or so while they searched me, my bags and the truck, then let fido sniff it before sending me on my way. Bored cops with nothing better to do in the middle of the night. 
Stopped by Pier57 to see my friends and took a tour. They've got a bunch of cool chit there!!!!
Anyway, the truck made it, ran flawlessly, burned or leaked no oil and was easy on fuel. Mama's happy and I'm happy. Life is good. No reason to not drag OldSchool II to some poker runs now!!

Nice truck. Sunkin says to make sure you re-gap the spark plugs after the long return trip!
