Class A restrictions?

Yes it will. You'll need to take it in an actual tractor-trailer.

 

A semi wrecker will only get you a class B. Unless you are pulling a trailer over 10k pounds. And I've never seen such a setup.

 

You do need a class A to drive it, unless you drive around empty all the time, but to test you will have to pull something, you can't just use it empty.

 

Yes you absolutely need a Class A to drive it. The thing might be 80 ton, feeding air to a wrecked B train or something huge back there even a semi trailer plus your own rig.

But the TEST. The actual DRIVING test with the state, has to be a 18 wheeler with airbrakes and preferably manual transmission. Once the state is satisfied you can manage a 18 wheeler in the driving test etc you do not have any restrictions to speak of.

When the time comes later to make use of that Class A to run a 80- ton wrecker moving a 65 ton B train and so on... you are all over it. No restrictions to worry about. You can drive anything on the planet except motorcycles.
