Would a regular drivers license be enough to drive a 12-16ft medium duty(less than 26k gvw) dump truck that pulls 14 to 16ft equipment trailers(single tired but tandem axle)? I'll have an easier time finding a job if they don't require a cdl in Florida...

Your best bet is to call and verify if it's not specified in the job listing. -

Speed_Drums, JoeyJunk and ZVar Thank this. -
A Ford f550 has a gvw of 17-19500, most trailers are 12-14k, which puts you over 30, so I doubt it unless it was certified down or ordered special

Why not apply to the state highway department as a highway laborer? They train you first on dump truck/CDL B, then heavy trailers, then CDL A. At least they do in many states.
You've said before you are familiar with loading/unloading trucks.
If you did a "dock to driver" program with your nearest LTL company, back when you started posting on here, you'd probably have a year of CDL A experience by now. Just sayin'........ -
