Easy to answer.

A CDL is not required for the weight you mentioned.

In florida any vehicle under 26,001 lbs GVWR you can drive with a class E (operators License).

If they require Hazmat, I believe a cdl is needed. A regular license, does not have endorsements.

yes true, if placarded you would need a minimum of a class C CDL with a hazmat endorsement. Most of those companies I listed don't really carry hazmat that much. I may be wrong on that. Once again I am only talking about Florida. Im not sure what PA would require.
