Re: Why's it called a 2 ton???
That Air Brake issue can be confusing. Funny as the CDL that they implemented in the early 90's was suppose to make things simpler. Some states say one thing, another stare says another, not only with under CDL's, but with Farm, Historic, RV, etc.
Now in Virginia, some say yes under CDL and some say no. It was many years ago, so something may have changed, but I contacted DMV twice and they both said "No" for under CDL. Some still say yes and others no though. Not only the public, but the law as well. A friend of mine used to own a truck with Air Brakes and under. When stopped a couple of times, one law man said no and the other, yes.
If I owned one, I would be carrying the DMV info in writing. But would that hold out of state?? Like I say, confusing.
I always found Air Brakes as no big deal anyway. I started using them when I was 11. When you wanted to stop, you press on the pedal. I thought they were the greatest thing, lol.
