Do you have to have a CDL to drive a single axle truck in Montana?

It all depends. Single axle trucks.. tend to be a bit ambiguous. For example, the Ford F750 is sold as a 26,000 GVWR truck, even though it has 31,000 lb. axles. So long as that vehicle remains at 26,000 lbs. or less, the weight rating isn't enough to warrant a CDL. If that vehicles grosses out at more than 26,000 lbs., then it requires a CDL.
Additionally, if the truck itself is rated at only 26,000 lbs, but you're towing a trailer, then you've created a combination over 26,000 GVWR, which requires a CDL - Class B if the trailer is rated at less than 10,000 lbs, Class A is the trailer is rated over 10,000 lbs.
Additionally, if that vehicle is carrying a quantity of hazardous material which requires placarding, or is designed to transport more than 15 passengers (including the driver), then a CDL with the appropriate endorsements is required to operate it.

There's no such thing as a one axle truck. There has to be a minimum of two axles. "Single axle" if a term referring to a truck with only a single drive axle, and doesn't count the steer axle. Same with "tandem axle", "tri axle", "quad axle", and "quint axle".

What is a tandem truck?
A tandem truck usually refers to the amount of axles on the trailer or tractor. A single drive axle on a tractor would be referred to as a single, or the same for one axle on the trailer. I have seen it referred to the amount of tires on the end of an axle. When there are two tires on the end of the axle, that would be referred to as a dual, not a tandem.
