Yes, you do need a medical card for a commercial vehicle that weighs less than 26000lbs.
That depends on state regulations for vehicles of that class. If it's hauling hazardous materials, or is designed to transport more than 15 persons (including the driver), it requires a CDL, and you will need a medical card.
It must be less than 10,000 lbs. Gross Vehicle Weight Rating - that is the actual weight rating of the vehicle, and not the weight it is actually loaded to. So even if the vehicle itself weighs less than 10,000 lbs. with whatever it's loaded with, if it's rated to be loaded to a gross weight of exceeding 10,000 lbs., then it's not permitted. im sorry but no commercial vehicles are allowed on the p.i.p ,you cant even drive a pickup truck without a cap on it.
IF it is for commercial/business purposes and IFthe trailer and tow vehicle come up to a Gross Combination Weight Rating in excess of 26,000 lbs., then yes, you need a Class A CDL.
That depends on what the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of the vehicle is, and what the vehicle weighs empty (tare weight).
There is no one vehicle that weighs 40 tons. The maximum allowed weight for large 18 wheel hauling trucks on highways in the United States is 40 tons or 80,000 lbs.
The 26,000 lb. weight limit isn't applicable to what the vehicle weighs at the time, but rather, the weight rating of the vehicle. If you're talking about a Class 7 or Class 8 power unit, the weight rating of the power unit alone will be in excess of 26,000 lbs, before you even factor in the trailer.As for the farm truck exemption to needing a CDL, it has limitations:The vehicle must only be used for purposes of that farm, and not on a for-hire basis for a third partyThe operator must be the farmer, an immediate family member of the farmer, or a direct employee of the farmerThe vehicle must be operated within a 150 road mile radius of the farm it belongs toIt must be registered as a farm truck
This will depend upon two factors: How much your vehicle cost and how much your vehicle weighs.
In General:A commercial vehicle is a type of motor vehicle that may be used for transporting goods or passengers. Some examples include: 1) Common motor vechicles: trucks; vans; semi-trucks.2) Passenger transports: buses; taxicabs; coaches.3) Product transports: trailers; box trucks; 'lorry' trucks.In the US:The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration defines a Commercial Motor Vehicle in 390.5 as: Commercial motor vehicle means any self-propelled or towed motor vehicle used on a highway in interstate commerce (business) to transport passengers or property when the vehicle-(1) Has a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR)or gross combination weight rating, or gross vehicle weight or gross combination weight, of 4,536 kg (10,001 pounds) or more, whichever is greater; or(2) Is designed or used to transport more than 8 passengers (including the driver) for compensation; or(3) Is designed or used to transport more than 15 passengers, including the driver, and is not used to transport passengers for compensation; or(4) Is used in transporting material.The GVWR is not how much your vehicle weighs, it's what your vehicles' maximum laden weight is. It is assigned by the manufacturer. You can find the GVWR on the VIN plate on the door or door frame of most power vehicles, and on the VIN plate on most trailers.If you add the GVWR from the Truck and trailer and it is more than 10,000 pounds, it's a commercial vehicle.For example, a Ford F150 has a GVWR around 7000 pounds by itself. A tandem axle flat bed trailer usually has a GVWR of 7000 pounds. When the vehicles are together, the total combination rating is 14,000 pounds and the vehicle is a commercial vehicle.Most states have adopted the federal regulations, but some have made exceptions to this rule for Non-CDL commercial vehicles that are operated only within the individual state. (Non CDL means a commercial motor vehicle with a GVWR between 10,001 and 26,000 pounds)Check with your local jurisdiction to find out if your state has adopted the federal regulations and if there are any exceptions.
Unless there is a medical reason yes she is

As much as it weighs. Depends on the vehicle's GVWR, what type of body it has, etc.
it depends on the year but i know a 1970 chevelle weighs about 3,700 lbs
