no but really tho, is it legal to drive this on public roads?

[–] Brandon658@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Probably. You'd be amazed at what someone with a regular license is allowed to drive. Such as the International CXT. Basically made to be just under specs that require a CDL. (To my knowledge it is mostly a weight thing. Like 26000 pounds and CDL is needed. 25999 pounds? you're fine without.)

The laws are pretty arbitrary and leave a lot to be desired. Which is also why you see some sketchy driving by people driving the large U-Haul box trucks and other moving rental companies. Same with trailers/campers. Any random can hook up an oversized/improperly loaded trailer to their little Ford escape and drive about.
