    What do you mean by Aclass straight trucks? Do you mean class A? I wouldn't think so. Class A would be combination vehicles not straight trucks. Maybe you meant something differant. If you clarify, maybe someone can help.

    No, a straight truck only requires a CDL B license.

    Am I having a "senior moment" here or what?

    Class A = over 26000 lbs, whether straight or combo. NO????

    All redimix trucks require Class A. Most dump trucks require Class A.

    If you are driving a bobtail van or flatbed that is capable of grossing over 26000 lbs you need a Class A.

    From www.dmv.org
    It seems to be the change from a B to an A occurs at 10,001 lbs. WHEN TOWING. So the B is only good for a towed COMBO of less than 10K lbs.

    You gotta have a class A for TOWING. A B license is good for any straight truck application, even mixer trucks and dumps.
