Instead of constantly being prepared to fight the system, I decided last winter to go ahead and just get my class A cdl. I'm really not commercial, but my state doesn't care and has relaxed the laws to allow motorhome/trailers to be used for a test. My question is, will my gooseneck hitch be considered a fifth wheel or will I get a non tractor trailer restriction? I don't care either way, except I've had so many "laymen" call my rig a semi truck, that I would hate for an officer to believe my license is not good due to my "semi truck".....lol. Anyone deal with this before? I called the local Federal Motor Carrier and could tell over the phone it was a "deer in the headlights" look.
