Best Answer

Yes, with the following exceptions:

Registered farm vehicles, provided that:

  • they are use only for the purposes of that farm, and are not hired out as third party contract vehicles
  • They are operated by the farmer, immediate family members of the farmer, or direct (W-2) employees of the farmer
  • They are operated within a 150 mile radius of the farm to which they belong

Registered recreational vehicles, provided that

  • They are not operated on a for-hire basis, nor by a hired driver
  • They are not used for commercial purposes

Military vehicles, provided that:

  • They are currently active DoD vehicles (not demilled vehicles)
  • They are operated by military members in the course of their duties (to include reservists and members of the National Guard)

Firefighting and first response vehicles, provided that they are operated by authorised personnel in the course of their duties.

The 26,000 weight limit does not apply to the vehicle's actual weight at the time - it applies to the weight rating. Thus, even if the truck is empty and weighs less than 26,000 lbs., if it is rated at more than 26,000 lbs., it requires a CDL, unless it falls under one of the above exemptions.

What license do you need to drive snowplow truck?

That depends on exactly what you're driving. A pickup truck with a snowplow mounted on the front doesn't require a CDL. A single axle dump truck weighing under 26,000 lbs doesn't, either. The moment that vehicle weighs over 26,000 lbs., or if you're driving a tandem/tri-axle/quad axle/etc. dump truck with a plow, then you need a Class B CDL. If, at any point, you're driving a combination (of truck and trailer) with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of over 26,000 lbs, and the vehicle in tow is rated at over 10,000 lbs, then you need a Class A CDL.
