well to introduce myself I have been lurking around here for a while and I have learned a lot. As you can see I'm totally new here. I have a couple of questions regarding cdl licensing stuff. I plan on getting a class b cdl to drive roll off trucks when I turn 21 which is in a couple of years, because I plan on starting a roll off trucking business. I also plan on buying an 20 ton excavator and tilt tag trailer. So obviously I would need a class a. the dilemma is that with my class b license and roll of truck I would be transporting materials in exchange for compensation which would indicate that its for commercial use. On the other hand transporting my own excavator to and from job sites does not clearly indicate that its commercial so I technically could get a non commercial class a license for transporting equipment and use my commercials b license for roll offs. Just wondering how many of you guys who transport you own equipment NOT AS A COMMERCIAL CARRIER FOR PAY have a cdl a and whether its needed. I have seen some of you guys put (not for hire) on your trucks.
Any thoughts? Thanks
