I agree with Brian, another example could be a 25k chip truck pulling 7,500 pound chipper. Over 26k CGVWR but trailer less than 10k, no CDL required.
36,000lb and no CDL?

In other words if you have a truck at 25,999 and a trailer behind that at 100 then you are over the 26,001 and need a class a CDL. In another scenario, if you have a 10k truck pulling a 10k trailer you need a class A cdl because of the trailer.
The key is the first 4 words "Any combination of vehicles" -

I read that just like I stated. Inclusive in this can mean "also". I read it that if you have a trailer over 10k no matter what the power unit is you need a CDL.
We are interpreting this differently. I would put a CDL driver in there and let the others enjoy their tickets. A combined GVWR is a combined GVWR no matter what trailer is attached.
The interpretation of your local authorities is what really matters. -
truckon Thanks this.
