    Then what's the cutoff between a and b? 33,000 pounds?

    There is no cut off do you have a trailer attached or not. I already stated earlier all cement trucks will haul 80000 pounds gross because of the number of axles they have. They only require a class B license because it is not a combination vehicle

    Have you seen the superdump trucks? 105,500 on a straight truck...pretty impressive.

    Class A is a commercial drivers license. Unless your involved with commercial operations you don't need any special license to drive a semi towing a 48' horse trailer behind at 80,000 pounds as an example. I have many friends that do this. No medial, no class A, no log book, NO NOTHING!!!

    I don't know how it works in other states but California certainly does issue and require non commercial class a and b licenses for the appropriate vehicles.
