What do you do for a living?

[jasoncran]

I am a loader in a builders merchants, so I drive forklift trucks and carry bags of cement about, I've also recently passed my HGV (heavy goods vehicle) test, so I can now also drive big trucks about. It's not glamorous, but it pays the rent etc. The company I work for is a workers co-operative owned by all of us employees, so the cleaner earns the same as the managing director, and we are all Christians, so it's a great atmosphere to work in.

what weight class can you drive? im rated up to 26001 lbs with an air brake endorsement.

"what weight class can you drive? im rated up to 26001 lbs with an air brake endorsement."

I don't know how the American licence system works, but in the UK I can drive any size vehicle so long as it sits on a rigid chassis. The one I drive at the moment is a 17 ton max gross weight with a 2 ton crane and grab.
Fun.
The roads about here in the villages where I deliver to are about a foot wider than the truck, so you can't even get two cars side-by-side:eeeekkk

What does that mean? can you drive with a trailer, or is it a rigid only?
