If the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of the trailer doesn't bring the Gross Combined Weight Rating of the entire combination in excess of 26,000 lbs, you don't need a CDL for it.

Can you tow a 15ft. forklift trailer with a 28ft. flatbed truck with a class B license?
The length of the trailer and truck is immaterial. What matters are the weight ratings.Truck with a GVWR of 26,000 lbs. or less = no CDL requiredTruck with a GVWR of 26,001 lbs. or more = Class B CDL requiredIn either instance, you can pull a trailer with a GVWR or 10,000 lbs. or less without having to upgrade to a Class A CDL. However, if that trailer has a GVWR of 10,001 lbs. or more, and it brings the Gross Combined weight rating in excess of 26,000 lbs. - regardless the GVWR of the power unit - then a Class A CDL is required
What is the maximum length between truck and trailer before CDL is required?
Length does not determine whether or not a CDL is required.
