Transfering to a Combination Truck from a Box Truck

If it's a combination vehicle (truck and trailer can separate) with a gross weight in excess of 26,000 pounds, you need an A. Unless, of course, there's some sort of provisions that I dont know about given for those trucks in your state.

Worth it? What's your time worth? Where I'm at, you go to the BMV and take a test. Not 100% sure it's free. But can't be more than $20 I would think.

 

The awser to if you need a CDL A doesn't suggest ANYTHING about what customers will pay or what it costs to provide the service.

Doesn't adding CDL A to a CDL B license require a CDL A vehicle for the road test, in addition to the computer test?

 

explain what you mean as a transfer truck.

 

haven't heard that term in a long time.

usually referring to a tractor and trailer.

 

I haven't heard it used outside of one customer and they use the term for a yard switcher, that's why I ask.

 

I'm curious as well. A transfer dump I've heard of. common in California. Basically a dump truck and pup but the pup box slides into the truck box to dump. I find them fascinating.

 

Yes, and yes.

BTW, dafuq is a "transfer truck"?

 

This is a transfer. Truck and trailer and trailer box slides into truck box to dump it
