Since 1997 anyone passing a driving test to drive a car in the uk can legally drive vehicles weighing the maximum weight of 3.5 tons. If we wish to drive any vehicles weighing more than 3.5tons then we have to take a Heavy goods vehicle test. Even if the vehicle is not registered for commercial use.

@@ivecodaddy4817 yes. In the USA anyone who passes a drivers test can drive something up to 13 tons. However if it is a recreational vehicle like a motorhome, camper or if its for farm use you dont need a different license. Didn't know that about the UK with that low of a weight restriction. I wish it was harder for people to get a license here. So many bad drivers

KZread brought me here. I had a laugh when he mentioned the 389. I saved and saved for my 389. I haul grain. Sure overkill but I love it. It is a pure Cadillac. Definitely a classic

Your going to need a trailer too, a heavy low-boy, to haul around that Cat dozer you are fixin' up.

"i swear, officer, im just driving it to a trailer" "Wheres the trailer at?" "my house". Wtf lol.
Westin, your my new best friend! I was an OTR Truck Driver and my truck was a 1998 Pete 379. I loved that truck and saw most of this great country from behind her windshield. I can't wait to see you restore this classic. You've got my subscription.
Finally a real truck, can’t wait to see when it’s done.
I drove that same model '04 Pete with 475 Cat, and an 18 spd. Loved that truck. Really looking forward to seeing more about this truck.

At my Dads work we have an old Kenworth cabover that was made back in the early 60s. Rusty as Shit but it just won't die
Ur a stud boss. Love how u back roading it.
