[QUOTE="dilligaf, post: 363229, member: 11476"] In this case I don't believe weight has anything to do with it.I am not sure what cage cars are but it sounds like this would be an airport facility. Please correct me if I am wrong. I also believe that if this is the case these types of vehicles are only used on private property and not taken out on the streets. Again, please correct me if I am wrong. Point- anyone can drive anything within the confines of private property. The issue is when they are driven on public streets. Then, by DOT requirements, that vehicle would require a minimum of a Class B CDL. Any driver of a vehicle that has air brakes system and used for business purposes must have a CDL to operate. I know someone will bring this up eventually so, these big motor homes that have air brake system do not apply because they are privately owned and are not used within the realm of a business. This has been a bone of contention within the trucking industry for years because operators of these motor homes are not required to comply with DOT regulations. And again I will bring this up because I know someone will ask, yes I believe I have some knowledge in this area as I have had a Class A CDL for 16 years. I know what I am talking about. [/QUOTE]
