I almost took a job that would have been driving a regular flatbed trailer with a forklift attached, not sure of the length but it was not little, the guy said a class c was all I needed because of the forklift I guess there is some exception to the rule. Was tempted to get a class b and be a chauffer or shuttle driver but figured with the way I get tickets (on my off time) I would be screwed in no time lol

When I was doing Formula-1 Tunnelboats ( we had 2 boats "stacked", and a Suzuki Samurai in the front)..We bought this rig from Boyd Coddington. The TopKick had a 12' 'RV box' attached to the rig, .... even though the whole rig was 79', it was classified as a motorhome !!
( second pic is before we painted it red.. parked in front of my house.

I believe, a flatbed with a rear-mounted forklift is not considered an 'over the road' setup, but local streets. ( Class B is due to airbrakes) Some reason, a chauffeur endorsement is purely for a requirement to be "trained" as a driver.
around that time I was already driving shuttle to the airport, there was some rule about that as well that did not require a class b and I was picking up pilots from Top gun at Miramar, spun out on drugs, not sure how I made it out of that mess to be honest meth+p/c/p can cause mild halucinations lol, had a very real conversation with God around that time.......

My brother had a home near Miramar.... the yard had a coating of a black dusting from jet exhaust.
that would be pretty annoying I lived in OB mostly and it is right under the SD airport flight path so every few minutes there was a slightly deafening roar, just depended on altitude, they fly out over the ocean and then turn a go wherever.
I wish I had every one of you forklift guys in front of me now. I would give you the “nickel “ test. See if you could pick a nickel up off the floor.
I always use that on the new guys here and walk away with a 20 spot in my pocket.

in Florida atleast, there used be a passenger endorsement. had a friend that worked on city busses and he had to have a class B with airbrake and a passenger endorsement to drive them around, even thou he was a mechanic

Insurance is a reason....driving on a public street, I suppose.
