    You can go out of state without a cdl as long as you are under that 26,001 lbs. however anything over 10,001 and up is required a log or time sheet.

    Get a class a and be done with it once don't forget a trailer with a gvw
    Over 10k is added to the truck, so even most 1 tons with skid steers need them

    I started off with a class b for 3 months and
    Ended up going back for my A

    A T270 is a Class 6 with a 26,000 lb. GVWR . O.K. to run without a CDL . What type of work were you looking for with it ?

    You would still be an interstate carrier.

    If you are buying the truck do you know of companies leasing on this type O/O or would you need your own authority ?
