don't have a class two license, I can't get a truck with a
lift gate,
The two aren't mutually exclusive. Several times I've rented a
lift-gate truck, usually from Budget, to move a machine. Now this
was always on the West Coast,
I've rented and driven trucks with lift gates from both Budget and Ryder
in the last three weeks with no problems and nothing but a standard
license. Perhaps you may need a special permit if you're going across state
lines.
No permit needed. I took a 15' Ryder/liftgate over to PA to pick up the
truckload of DEC gear. I was told of limitations only when I inquired about
the 25' truck waiting to be rented. Because of it being above a certain
GVW I would need a CDL. I think its' having air brakes were mentioned too
as being a limitation for me.
I had to maintain a detailed mileage log and pay road use tax when I
brought the 15' truck back. Did you Joe?
Regards, Chris
