RV
Do you need a CDL to drive an RV? For most RVs, the answer is no. However, if you're driving a Class A motorhome or towing exceptionally large or heavy trailers, some states require special licenses. Weight and length thresholds vary by state, with some requiring a CDL or non-commercial Class B license for vehicles over 26,000 lbs or longer than 45 feet. While you can title and register your RV in a different state, your driver’s license and domicile dictate which state’s licensing rules apply. Understand the requirements in your state to stay compliant on the road.
Registration
For tradesmen who live and work on the road, vehicle registration can be a hassle, especially when dealing with restrictive domicile state rules. Discover how out-of-state vehicle registration, particularly through a Montana LLC, can save you time, money, and effort.
Import and Export, Mini Trucks
Michigan has taken a significant step forward in recognizing the practicality of Japanese mini-trucks, micro vans, and Kei cars for on-road use. The Michigan Department of State (MDoS) has updated its policy, reclassifying these vehicles from off-road to on-road use, and is issuing new titles and registrations to affected owners. This decision marks a major win for mini-truck enthusiasts and paves the way for greater acceptance of these versatile vehicles.
Dirt Bikes, News
Dirt biking remains a vibrant and evolving culture as we head into 2025. Gas-powered bikes continue to see steady, incremental improvements, while electric dirt bikes are rapidly advancing with lighter components, longer battery life, and impressive torque. Legislative efforts like House Resolution 906 aim to empower riders with the right to repair their own vehicles, fostering independence within the community. Despite restrictive state regulations, dirt biking culture thrives, with growing sales and creative solutions like Montana LLC registration ensuring riders can hit the trails legally. The future of dirt biking is a blend of tradition, innovation, and resilience.
Electric Vehicles
Electric vehicles are here to stay, but can they capture the passion and thrill cherished by driving purists? From the roar of a V-8 engine to the raw engagement of a manual transmission, traditional muscle cars offer an experience that EVs can’t easily replicate. Yet, EVs boast unmatched performance, instant torque, and advanced handling features. Is this enough to sway the hardcore muscle car crowd, or will purists cling to the visceral charm of internal combustion engines?
