The local Chevy dealer added mud flaps to our truck so it can pass state safety inspection. We took the truck to the inspection station we had used earlier for the trailer inspection. We left with the inspection stickers for both vehicles.
As soon as we had the stickers, we went to the county tax office and applied for titles, registration, license plates for the truck and trailer (a.k.a. Venture). That done, we went to the Department of Public Safety to get driver’s licenses. We were surprised to be told that we needed special licenses for heavy vehicles. The maximum gross weights of the truck and trailer add up to more than 26,000 pounds, which meant we need licenses that require a written test and driving test not needed for regular driver's licenses. Class A licenses require a written test and a driving test with the rig. We passed the test and scheduled driving tests for tomorrow.
