@cpstevemiller: Cdl is only required if you're over 26,000lbs INCLUSIVE to a trailer over 10,000lbs. Not "or" a trailer over 10,000 lbs. Non cdl hotshot.

down2earth :

Most states A CDL is required for trailer over 10,000 lbs

Kris-P :

It’s based on combined weight. Truck+trailer= 26,001 requires CDL.

R&C :

ONLY IF the total GVWR is over 26,001. 2006 f550 GVWR 17,800 with a 10,000 GVWR trailer. CDL is required. 2018 f250 GVWR 10,000 with a 14,000 dump trailer. No CDL needed. It is COMBINED GVWR. At least here in Florida.

jessehensley57 :

A recreational use trailer rated more than 10,000 pounds a CDL is not required, as soon as you take a commercial vehicle and hook it up to any trailer rated more than 10,000 pounds and you are using it to make money a CDL is required

Drakehammer12g :

Wisconsin you have to have a cdl operating for commerce in combination over 10,000

yota121606 :

I just have a class a so I don’t have to worry about it it’s just easier

Chris Backfire :

It’s a federal requirement to have a class A CDL while towing a trailer that’s exceeds 10,000lbs.

mainerjest803 :

My class b license say on the back of the license it self that I can not drive with a trailer over 10k gvwr

ibewlife :

my license said or before I got my class a

Mitch :

That’s wrong. Connecticut state law states any trailer over 10k gvw requires a Class A CDL.

Stephan Momont :

idaho it's called a class's c cdl

topnotch114 :

You need trailer endorsement ! I hold a CDL

dumptrucker :

Maine requires it.

bubz :

Pennsylvania does

386 Pete :

Any trailer that is being towed that is 10,001 pound you need a class A

grecodog :

In Missouri if you’re pulling a 10,000 pound trailer with an F250 single rear wheel pick up truck you absolutely have to have a class a. So if you’re pulling a bobcat on a trailer, you have to have a class a

Dylan Matlock :

Combined gvwr can’t be over 26001, so if you drive in a ram 5500 an your pullin a bumper pull twin 3500lb car trailer your illegal

scody1289 :

Pennsylvania does.

Fayed 😰😰😰 :

Michael Lima6755 :

Massachusetts

Christian_Grafft :

If your GCWR is over 26,001. If the GVWR of the truck and trailer together is over 26,001 then you need a CDL unless your trailers GVWR is under 10,001lbs. It’s about ratings, not your loaded weight.

Justin Osborn :

In iowa you need a CDL if what your pulling has the capacity to haul grater than 10,000 lbs. say an empty trailer and a 3500 or grater company truck.

bikerman :

But you need to be DOT compliant understand that

NinjaLevel :

nope, Texas will ticket you if your trailer GVWR is over 10k because you have the capability

matt ❌💙 :

illinois also requires it i know i have one had to get it
