Nice thing is in that case you can use that truck to get the CDL...a lot easier than doing a road test in an 18 wheeler i'd think! You will be restricted from using air brakes if you do that.

 

Most State's will not let you take the Class A test unless the power unit is 26,001 lbs or more because, once you have the Class A, you can drive Class B vehicle's as well.

 

Hmm. Meh. Class B is easy as hell though.

I remmber one time i was applying for a class B position at an employment agency and was trying to explain to them that i can drive the truck even though i have class A lol

 

Thats....EXACTLY the definition of "Class A". Class A is for any trailer over 10,001 lb.

To be perfectly honest, this is a perfect reason to just go out and get the class A. Then you KNOW you're licensed for pretty much anything. If you get a T (triples/doubles) endorsement you can even double tow with personal vehicles...

And so are you going to use this as a hotshot truck after all? If you just use it for personal use it doesnt need a CDL...

 

No, if the GVWR of the trailer is more than 10k lbs. then you have to have a CDL. He already answered your question:

 

and did you tell them you were running commercially or not?
