    Straight truck should be Class B CDL.

    I guess weight has to be less than 26,001 Gross.

    Anything over 26grand and your a B. No matter how big, anything less and you dont need a cdl at all. May need air brake endorsement, and you will need a med card...

    I know enough to figure out what placards I need, but these little trucks are a whole other world.

    Any hazmat u need at least class c w/ hazmat

    Under 26k gross only class e even if it has air brakes. Think of all those penske/uhaul/rider trucks people rent

    class b u can drive anything over 26k but can't pull a trailer weighing more than 10k
