All are correct.. The Federal Government sets MINIMUM standards for the CDL and they are standard across the country.The State can not do less than required but CAN do more such as length and double or triple towing. What gets confusing is that the CDL is for commercial drivers and of no benefit to the RV driver. In Ohio the State BMV conducts the CDL training and licensing not a third party. I thought it was very good training but defiantly commercial driver oriented. I agree that from what I have seen in the States that require a RV endorsement it is pretty much a joke and for revenue collection only. Also correct about documentation for RV drivers..There is no central data collection point for Rv drivers or RV related incidents. However the CDL driver is documented to death by the Federal Governmnet.
