    I need to transport two cars and need to know if I need permits to do so. I have a rollback car hauler that is used for my use only (not for hire)

    Hello vet:

    I see you been sitting here for a day with no answers. So... I'll give it my two cents. I don't know what a rollback hauler is, but if IT requires permits to work or travel in those states, then I think you will need one.

    However, a private person can transport two cars through any state without fees or pemits. I just don't know if the vehicle they're using can. But, since it's for your own personal use, I'd say you can.

    Hey excon:

    A rollback hauler is what most people would call a flatback wrecker, instead of having a sling lifting the front wheels off the road, the entire car is put on a flatbed that rolls back and slants down to pull the car on it. I'm not totally sure, but I think to drive one all a person needs is a CDL with rollback priorities.

    Thanks for the replies. I think that the ICC is a great idea.

    I talked to a commercial rollback wrecker driver and he said all you need is a CDL, and ICC and DOT numbers on your truck. I hope this helps you!!

    You shouldn't need a CDL if it's strictly for your own personal use and not for pay. Of course, the vehicle has to be properly registered and insured according to its size and class.
