If the Gross Combination Weight Rating (combined Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of the truck and of the trailer) exceeds 26,000 lbs., and the vehicle is of a type which does not fall under one of the CDL exemptions (registered farm vehicle, military vehicle, emergency vehicle, or recreational vehicle), then yes, you need a CDL.
If the Gross Combination Weight Rating (the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of the truck and of the trailer combined) exceeds 26,000 lbs., and the vehicle is not of a type exempted from requiring a CDL (military vehicles, registered farm vehicles, emergency vehicles, or recreational vehicles), then yes, it requires a CDL.
If the Gross Combination Weight Rating is more than 26,000 lbs., and it's not a recreational trailer, then yes.
So long as the total Gross Combination Weight Rating of the vehicle is 26,000 lbs. or less, and the weight actually remains under 26,000 lbs., then no, you don't. You also don't need a CDL if it's a vehicle exempt from FMCSA regulation, such as a recreational vehicle.
If the Gross Combined Weight Rating of the two vehicles is in excess of 26,000 lbs, and you don't fall under one of the exemptions and criteria of those exemptions (e.g., military, emergency, farm, recreational vehicles), then yes.
The braking system doesn't determine whether or not a vehicle requires a CDL.
That depends. CDL requirements depend on the weight rating of the vehicle, not the weight it actually is. If you need a CDL for it when it's loaded, then you need a CDL for it when it's empty. If it's a single vehicle or a combination rated at more than 26,000 lbs, and in which the vehicle in tow is rated at 10,000 lbs. or less, then you need a Class B CDL. If the trailer is rated at more than 10,000 lbs., and the total Gross Combination Weight Rating is more than 26,000 lbs., then you need a CDL.
If the Gross Combination Weight Rating (the combined Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of the truck and of the trailer) is in excess of 26,000 lbs., and the vehicle is of a type which does not fall under an exemption to CDL requirements (emergency vehicle, registered farm vehicle, military vehicle, or recreational vehicle), then yes, you need a CDL.
What is the grace period for expired cdl in Oklahoma
Not necessarily, but specifics matter in regard to this question.
That depends on the Gross Combination Weight Rating of the two vehicles, and other factors. If the vehicle is being operated on a for-hire basis, and the Gross Combination Weight Rating of truck and trailer is more than 26,000 lbs., then a Class A CDL is required.
Yes. If it requires a tanker with an unrestricted CDL, so it does with a permit, as well.
For private, recreational use, no. And this applies to all states.
If the Gross Combined Weight Rating of the truck and trailer is in excess of 26,000 lbs, yes.
IF it is for commercial/business purposes and IFthe trailer and tow vehicle come up to a Gross Combination Weight Rating in excess of 26,000 lbs., then yes, you need a Class A CDL.
