Endorsement in BC

California went to the special licensing 4-5 years ago. They go by the GVWR on the sticker of your trailer. If your trailer shows 10,000 lbs to 14,999 you will need a endorsement on your license. If it shows over 15,000 lbs you will need a Non Commercial license. If you have a Commercial license you are okay. They require a medical statement saying that you are in good health. When I went down to take the written test I was also required to take my regular license test and since I have a endorsement for motorcycle I had to take that test. After that I set up appointment for the Inspection and the drivers test. The inspection is really important. All of this information is in the California DMV web site. I was out on the drivers test for over a hour. I was worried that if I was stopped for any reason that if I am not licensed properly that they could make you park your rig. That could turn into a disaster especially if you are a long ways from home.
