Gents,

I would like comment on some of your thoughts.

We have in the collection two Bedford MJ trucks. Very similar to a "deuce" except number of axles.

They are both air over hydraulic. Z endorsement is required. Dependant on whether empty or not is a grey area on the G vs D licence according to some, in my understanding empty is a G loaded is a D. Frankly I would say a D minimum.

As I hold an A Z I dont have an issue.

The trucks are heavy enough that they require plating under the commercial rating and hence need an annual safety and emmissions in perpetuity.

As the trucks are in that weight category they require be driven under the terms of a CVOR. One does not have to have a CVOR personally but a letter carried in the vehicle stating that the vehicle is leased to the CVOR holder and the vehicle is under their care and control. Having that letter lodged with MTO is a good idea also.

Hence my employer owns the trucks but his company has the CVOR and leases the trucks and they run under the company CVOR.

Each truck is required to be daily checked and a record kept, that is your driver trip inspection book. $390 fine for failure to do so. Period.

If you are looking for an M series truck the collection has a M109A3 for sale, POA.
