Class E License?

Speaking the truth.

I had to call my company's CSC (Client Support Center) about some issues with equipment. Talked to a low-level call operator that speaks arab and 1% English. Tells me one thing, then transfer me to verify. I'm guessing another level up person answer, said the same thing then changed it to a totally different answer... Transfer to a manager who is American (Surprise surprise), ended up being something as simple as a switch....

To sum it up.

Don't believe in the first answer.. In writing speaks more words then a story.

 

From my limited research, it appears that Class A, B, and C follow the federal guide lines. After that it is a free for all.

 

Over the years I have been bit too many times by this. I need to hear the same thing from three out of five or better yet see it in writing.

 

BigBuck is already off to seek his fame and fortune but this is what I found. I still can't find anything that says what a standard operator's license is. If it is a Class D, then he was correctly informed. As you remember it is a Class F in Missouri.




Illinois License Classification

The Commercial Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1986 established a uniform national classification system. As a result, the Illinois driver's license classification system was changed in April 1990 to the following:
Class A
Any combination of vehicles with a Gross Combination Weight Rating (GCWR) of 26,001 or more pounds provided the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of the vehicle(s) being towed is in excess of 10,000 pounds. (Holders of a Class A license may, with appropriate endorsements, operate all vehicles within Class B, C and D.)
Class B
Any single vehicle with a GVWR of 26,001 or more pounds, or any such vehicle towing a vehicle not in excess of 10,000 pounds GVWR. (Holders of a Class B license may, with any appropriate endorsements, operate all vehicles within Class C and D.)
Class C
Any single vehicle with a GVWR of 16,001 pounds but less than 26,001 pounds GVWR; or
Any such vehicle towing a vehicle not in excess of 10,000 pounds GVWR; or
Any vehicle 26,000 pounds (GVWR) or less designed to transport 16 or more people or used in the transportation of hazardous materials which requires the vehicle to be placarded; or
Any such vehicle towing a vehicle with a GVWR of 10,000 pounds or less or with a GCWR of 26,000 pounds or less. (Holder of a Class C license may operate all vehicles within Class D.)
Class D
Any single vehicle with a GVWR 16,000 pounds or less that is not designed to transport 16 or more people; or
Any single vehicle with a GVWR 16,000 pounds or less that is not used in the transportation of hazardous materials which requires the vehicle to be placarded; or
Any single vehicle with a GVWR of 16,000 pounds or less towing any vehicle providing the GCWR does not exceed 26,000 pounds.
Note: Holders of a Class D license may operate all vehicles within Class D and may operate rental vehicles up to 26,000 pounds when transporting an individual's own personal property or that of an immediate family member for non-business purposes within the State of Illinois.

 

I currently hold a class E liscence. Im in florida and it is the normal liscence everyone gets. On the back for endorsments it states class E- any non-commercial vehicle with GVWR less than 26,001 Lbs. or any RV

 

So it is a Class F in MO, a Class E in FL and a Class D in IL. And to top it off it looks like it allows limited commercial activity in IL.

I've reached a conclusion. Getting states to agree on something is just about as simple as getting truck drivers to agree on something.

 

In PA its class C.Florida class E.Class A and B as far I know is a CDL in any state.I think in Canada its class 1 and 2 ????

 

I've Also Googled it...Good luck. Best thing to do its visit or call inn the state you're interested in. As I'm from Michigan you have your Operator, Chauffeur, then your endorsements. IE: cycle, Commercial drivers Class C,B,A. License says Commercial Drivers license. But license type is CA Chauffeurs Class A endorsement. Michiganders please don't haze me yet, contact Lansing Michigan State Police. You'll see I'm correct. However Illinois has a Class E. (I assume you live there), and I'm sorry even on state websites its pointless to look. I'm calling tomorrow myself to verify before I get back into repo. But I strongly agree with the gentleman your talking to. In order to work commercially, you must possess, according to the FMCSA and state laws, not to mention to pass insurance, minimally a chauffeurs license.

 

Hmm interesting. Kinda Like when Illinois was selling cdls for a premium haha thanks I'm looking into this, wish i would've saw This before i posted. Maybe its bedtime
