Towing issues / updates

As an interesting side note to this, I had to certify my WA state class "A" cdl as either inter- or intra- state. When I told the clerk that I didn't carry anything on my rig that was made outside of the state of Washington she countered that if I carried cable made outside of the state I required interstate certification. When I told her that driving a digger/auger truck I never carried cable she asked if I knew where the utility poles I placed came from because if anything I carried crossed a state line it was interstate commerce. Being me, I asked her that since I was probably wearing coveralls or jeans that were made offshore did I need to certify for international commerce.

After a rather "crappy" look, I got re-certified.......
