There are three circumstances in which a vehicle or a combination with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating or Gross Combination Weight Rating of 26,000 lbs. or less will require a CDL:
Only if the vehicle has a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of 26,000 lbs. or less (and remains under that weight). Otherwise, you need a CDL.
Yes, you will need insurance to drive with a CDL license.
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.
Yes you do need a CDL License to drive a bucket truck.
No... If you don't drive a vehicle requiring a CDL, you don't need a CDL. For a vehicle of 26,000 lbs. Gross Vehicle Weight Rating or less, the only times you'd need a CDL would be if it was hauling a quantity of hazardous materials which required visible placards, or if it was a bus designed to transport more than 15 persons (including the driver).
If the GVWR is 26,000 lbs. or less, and it's not hauling hazardous materials, no.
No. The M35A2 has a GVW of less than 26,000 lbs.
If it's a tractor-trailer (there are hook lift trailers), Class A CDL. If it's a single vehicle with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of more than 26,000 lbs, Class B CDL. If it's a single vehicle with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of 26,000 lbs. or less, a CDL is not required.
You will need a Class B CDL with tanker endorsement.
You can repo without one. You only need a CDL if you're going to be operating vehicles or combinations which would require a CDL in normal operation. So, if you're repossessing Class 8 trucks, you'd need a CDL. If you're just repossessing a passenger car, you wouldn't need it.
If you need to earn your CDL for your job, the best thing that you can do is to attend a CDL training school. By attending one of the many CDL training schools, you can learn the basics of driving a truck. A CDL school will teach you the most important things that you will need to know to pass the CDL test. You will also get plenty of hours of practice driving a truck.
You can only hold one CDL, so there's no need to pluralize it. Any bus designed to transport more than 15 persons (including the driver), you need a CDL with a passenger endorsement.
