No. While some states may expressly allow a vehicle to be operated on private property without a CDL (although it does put them in conflict with the FMCSR), you absolutely cannot legally operate a tractor trailer or commercial straight truck on public property and roadways without possessing the appropriate class of licence for that vehicle. Now, if that tractor trailer is a registered farm vehicle, rather than a commercial vehicle, the story will be a bit different, and different states have different regulations on that.
If you're going for a Class A in order to drive a tractor-trailer, it really is what you need to do. For a Class B, or Class A for combinations which aren't tractor-trailers, lots of companies can give you on-the-job training.
From what I understand, having a California Commercial Driver's License Class A, you can have up to 4 points before your license is suspended.
Class A, both in the case of commercial and non-commercial licences permits the operator to drive combinations over 26,000 lbs. GVWR, in which the vehicle in tow is rated at greater than 10,000 lbs. A Class A CDL doesn't necessarily allow you to drive a tractor-trailer - if you don't road test on one, but rather, some other combination which falls within Class A CDL requirements (for example, Ford F650 and a trailer rated at over 10,000 lbs), you'll get an "8" restriction - No tractor-trailers.
Depends on the vehicle. You can run line haul in a tractor-trailer or straight truck. If you're running a tractor-trailer, you need a Class A. If it's a straight truck, you need a Class B.
The Explosives 1.3 placard may be placed on either the front of the tractor or the front of the trailer
That would all depend on what you are driving, the gross vehicle weight, whether or not you are driving for hire, etc. It is actually considered driving without a license if you are driving out of class. If a person with a standard class d driver's license(passenger cars and small trucks) is caught driving a Tractor Trailer that weighs 80,000 lbs, then you can forget about your licenses for a while.
You need a Class A learner's permit.
Yes you may Drive a Tractor Unit, on a Cat C License but you may not pull a trailer (of more than 7.5t) to be safe dont pull one at all
Which country? In the US, you need a Class A CDL without a "no tractor-trailer" restriction, and without an air brake restriction. In Canada, it's a Class 1 licence. In the United Kingdom, it's an E+C licence. In South Africa, it's an EC licence. In all instances, you're better off to just attend a truck driving school.
Class A CDL (without a "no tractor-trailers" restriction) in the US, E+C in South Africa, EC in the European Union.
A bobtail can be driven with a Class B CDL, but if you're driving tractor-trailers for a living, you'd have a Class A CDL, anyhow.
