    If I took a dump in my jeans, would it affect GVW?

    Don't forget, even without a CDL license, still need to have a DOT physical medical card.

    From what I’ve seen, a CDL Class B would work fine for a single-axle dump truck under 26k GVW as long as the trailer stays under 10k. If the trailer goes over 10k or the combined weight goes over 26k, you’d need a Class A.
    Landscaping setups like this are pretty common around Ottawa, especially when you’re working with landscape designers ottawa. They often need equipment moved for big projects, so having the right license is key to keeping everything running smoothly.
