Coy21k said:I own a oilfield hotshot company and I bought 2 of them to try and yea they are pricey at first but I actual save money operating them over a one ton ... Oil changes every 10k miles cost the same as getting a oil change every 5k in a dually .... Tires last men10X ad long ad do brakes ... The 112 model are air brakes just like a big truck so yes you need a CDL. MPG is around 8-9 pulling a load which is better than 6-7 in my fords .... Plus those trucks will last me 5X as long as a one ton. It has buckets up front but u could seat 4 in the back seat

peanut said:do you have to have a air brake endorsement on your license if the truck is equp. with air brakes
fl-krawler said:Not for hire and under 26k gvwr, or under 26k GCWR, CDL is not required. If it weighs over 26k, whether its GVWR or GCWR, or the trailer you are pulling is rated above 10K a CDL is required. If a CDL is required and you have air brakes, air brake endorsement is required. Motorhomes and rigs pulling RV style campers are exempt from needing a CDL (this is all per Florida CDL handbook). Also if not for hire you are exempt from needing to stop at the scales, or required to keep a log book as long as you don't exceed 14hrs of driving time without an 8hr rest (this last sentence I may be wrong on the specifics)
