You need a basic drivers licence before you can upgrade to a CDL. The class of the basic operator's permit varies by state - in some states, it may be Class C, while others will have different classifications for it.

Depends on the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of the vehicle. 26,000 lbs. or less, it doesn't require a CDL. 26,001 lbs. or higher requires a Class B CDL. If you're running a Class C wrecker (Class C is a heavy wrecker... wrecker classification and driver license classification are two separate things), then you'd need a Class A CDL.

Do you need a class b cdl or a class c cdl to drive a 16000 lb trolley with air brakes?

Class C. Since the vehicle weighs less than 26,001 pounds you don't need a Class B CDL, but you can't put an air brake endorsement on a non-commercial driver's license so Class C it is. Make sure you bring a vehicle with air brakes to your road test; if you don't you'll receive a "no air brakes" limitation on your license. However, since a trolley is a rail vehicle, and not a road vehicle, it's likely you won't need a CDL for it, but will have to undergo company training to operate it.
