CDL requirements??

[Toad]

I am planning on pulling doubles to Moab in October. I have never done it. I am pulling a tent trailer behind my car hauler. My overall length will be just close to 60 feet. I have looked online and from what I have found there is nothing about length rules.

pretty sure it is 65ft for Utah.

Look in the RV forums, they talk about this stuff. I really doubt you will be bothered. I see people pulling some crazy stuff around here.

I have been pulling doubles in utah/nev/az for years with no problems
the length limit without a permit is 65 ft
I run over that and never been pulled over

It all depends why you do it. All things change if ya get paid and the size of it. Ever since I came off the road, I really haven't paid much attention to the laws and changes. So I could be way off Lol.

65' including tow rig. Just make sure your tent trailer weighs less than your car hauler loaded.

I contacted the port of entry. They told me no length requirements.

Basically there are no rules (above and beyond driving a car) if it is for "recreational" purposes. (IE not getting paid)

No cdl needed for recreational use, but 65' is the limit in utah. My buddy got cited for being over length earlier this year.

says 65' total length -I kept a copy of the law in my glove box while pulling doubles in case of undesired officer interaction..

The law is 65 FT tongue to tail. Be smart about it small trailers like to whip. I totaled a truck and 2 trailers with this setup. 5th wheel lead and bumper tail pulls nice but equalizer is always smart on small tail trailers or any tail regardless. Im pulling a 32ft 5th wheel with a 21 ft boat or my 20 ft flat bed with toyota behind it and never had an issue or bugged about it.
