Class B question with towing

Only as long as what you tow is 10,000lbs or less.

 

yup, simple answer. The picture shown is no since it will be over 18500.

 

Drive away tow away is fine. It's a very particular situation.

We used to have that particular item in regulations long ago, I don't know if we still do.

I do not know enough to try it with a class B, Ive always had a A and never cared to learn the limitations of B. I have however been called over qualified and told to stop bothering construction companies with just class B. Darn snooty yankees ...

 

That requires a class A CDL, not a B.

 

And like always, X1 is wrong.
Class A is any combinations vehicle with the towed unit over 10,000 lbs.
Class B is anything over 26,000 and if a towed unit, 10,000 lbs or less.

 

I'm not sure why this question has morphed into this long a thread. The answer is NO you can NOT tow anything over 10,000 GVW with a class B CDL. You can operate the Truck with nothing on the hook over 10,000 pounds however. Just as a side note I know of nobody that operates these heavy tow trucks that does not hold an A. I also know of several that hold X endorsements in the unlikely event they are required to tow hazmat or tankers.

 

You don't really believe he put his car into orbit, I hope?
The launch was another mil-sat. and possibly two; a first double header.
Tesla in space story is subterfuge to amuse the Muppets.

 

You are also required to have a doubles endorsement if you are towing truck and trailer together
