yeah that may well be an option, it only matters really to get her back, i was going to register her for road use, so i can roll along the coast on a summers day every now and again.

I have had a class #1 license for driving the bigrigs along time.The big difference is If the trailer has air brakes you need a Class one .In western Canada you see hundereds of 3/4 tons pulling up to 30 ft fifth wheel trailers with heavey loads .They seam to get away with it but they are in trouble when they have to make a quick stop The catch is these trailers have electric brakes . I have a 8 ton Fruehauf military trailer that was used to haul the carriers .It is towed with a jeep and has air brakes that my 3/4 ton would take offence to. I will haul my carrier with a tandem 7000 lb axel car trailer rated at 14000 lb George

Grant, if I understand properly how you registered your truck I have a correction. In Ontario your plates must be sufficient to include the truck, trailer and load on the trailer and you will probably need a "D" licence. If you are over 4500 km you need a CVOR (free)as you stated. A log must be filled out if you are over 100 miles ??? not km. from your home base. It is also necessary to have a yearly inspection on the truck and the trailer. I am not clear on this last point but I was told by an MOT inspector that if you have the yearly inspection sticker on your truck every trailer you tow must also have the sticker. I question this but who knows. Just having a sticker on a box trailer doesn't make sense to me. I will try to get this clarified. Now you can also get a different "A" licence that you can't drive a tractor trailer but you are good to go with these 1 ton dumps and landscape trailers.
