DO YOU NEED A COMMERCIAL DRIVER'S LICENSE?

You need a CDL if you operate any of the following vehicles.

. • All single vehicles with a manufacturer's weight rating of 26,001 pounds or more

. • All trailers with a manufacturer's weight rating of 10,001 pounds or more, if the gross weight rating of the combined vehicle(s) is 26,001 pounds or more

. • All vehicles designed to transport 16 or more persons (including the driver). (Private, church, buses.)

• All vehicles that carry placarded amounts of hazardous materials (see following section on exemptions).

Occasional drivers are also required to apply for a CDL and all appropriate endorsements. For example: Mechanics or truck sales people who test drive on a public roadway

These vehicles are divided into three classes, A, B, and C. To determine what class of CDL you need, follow the links to the questions.

A higher class CDL allows you to drive vehicles in any of the lower classes provided you have the correct endorsements.

I go by this rule..........and I do have my CDL.

Single truck = < 26,001
Trailer = <10,001

That's what mine says I'm legal for on the back. Oh and the scoot

What are you trying to say?

 

[dogboneshd]

What it says is what it means. Seems like people try to make their own interpretations. Just ask 3 different people and see what answers you get

So tell me Cretebaby what makes you the foremost authority? Are you the only person that can post on the forum? My posted reply is because people with no CDL are breaking the law because they want to interpret that law to suit themselves. If you don't like what I have to say .....turn the page smart ass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Some think you need a CDL class A to pull a trailer over 10k, which is true if the combination is over 26k, but not solely on the fact that the trailer weights over 10k.

Boy, did this thread take a turn.
How about getting a trailer rated to haul the mini, and remember this, with a 6800# mini that leaves only 3199# of trailer, tie downs, blocking, and whatever else untill you are at the 10K limit. Most trailers I have been around that are rated at 10K weigh in at over 3K. Why not get a good heavy duty one that weighs closer to 4K empty but will be rated at 14 to 18K. Then you have enough capacity and BRAKES to safely haul the load, and whatever else gets thrown on board.
Then take the day out of your schedule and get the proper CDL and run legit.

Or cut corners, skirt the law, and cross your fingers that nothing bad ever happens.

I will agree, it is hard to compete with those that skirt the law when you are running legit, but I can sleep at night.

YES, if your trailer is 10K or more, you are required to have a CDL. Read the above posts again, you can see it right there. If the combination vehicle is over 26K, OR if the trailer is over 10K

So, 19,500 truck, like a F-550, pulling a 7,000 trailer, and you need a CDL

Any truck pulling a 10K trailer and you need a CDL

That may be the case in CA but not for the rest of us.
