I have thought about getting a CDL and a Class 8 truck to pull a 5th wheel rv. In my state (Montana), I don't even need to get a CDL to drive a class 8 truck for recreational purposes within the state.
I was told that I should check with other states that I might be passing through to see what their regulations are. I would get a CDL anyway, but would I have to stop at weigh stations in every other state I go through even though I'm just pulling an RV?

It seems crazy that I would have to check with each state I go through to make sure I'm legal when I'm legally licensed in Montana.

Any help or tips from anyone who is doing this would be greatly appreciated!!
