Additionally, I just looked up the weight of an Advance Design ton and a half cab and chassis (no body) -- 4,290 lbs. The 6400 C&C weighs in at 4,755 lbs.

I think a fire body and pump would add much more than 2,245 lbs ...

(Info comes from the Chevrolet Truck Data Book)

Ed -- BTW, You only need the A license (either CDL or Non CDL) if the total rig is more than 26,000 with a 10k trailer. If trailer is 10k but your under 26k combined, you only need the DOT medical card. For 10K trailers, you *do* need a current DOT Medical, commercial or not.

I don't think that part is heavily enforced. But its more more thing they could write you up for....

A kid raised on Hotwheels, Matchbox and Tonka cannot be reasonably expected to own only one vehicle as an adult.
