From Wiki: Truck Classification

Class 7 Heavy truck 26,001–33,000 pounds (11,794–14,969 kg) Autocar ACMD, GMC C7500, Ford F-750
Vehicles in Class 7 and above require a Class-B commercial driver's license (CDL) to operate in the United States.

Class 8 Heavy truck 33,001 pounds (14,969 kg)+ Autocar ACX, International WorkStar, Kenworth T600, Kenworth T660, Kenworth T680 - Semi-trailer trucks fall into this category.
Commercial operation of a Class 8 vehicle in the United States requires either a Class-B CDL for non-combination vehicles, or a Class-A CDL for combination vehicles (tractor-trailers).

That's right but the CDL info is wrong for class B.
