Truck classification isn't concurrent with the license required to drive them. A single axle water truck could be a Class 5, 6, 7, or 8 truck, depending on the vehicle GVWR. A Class 7 or Class 8 truck would require a (minimum) Class B CDL.
A dump truck could be anything from a Class 1 to a Class 8 truck. Usually, they'll be Class 3 or higher.
Anywhere from 20 to 300. A Class 8 truck is simply a truck with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating in excess of 33,000 lbs. Not just tandem axle trucks, but, as an example, the current production Ford F750 falls into the Class 8 category.
Yes. A Class 7 single axle straight truck exceeds the 26000 lb. GVWR. A semi truck is a Class 8 truck.
Could be either... a Class 8 truck could be either a straight truck or a truck/trailer combination. A single vehicle would require a Class B license, while a vehicle pulling a trailer with a GVW in excess of 10,000 lbs. would require a Class A.
That depends upon the frame size and the number of tires. if you look on maufacturers plate on inside of door, u will see what the gvw is that is if it is 1.5 ton truck the gvw will be 3000 pounds [more than the tare weight] so you can go grom there. the side of the truck will say what class it is a Ford f450 or GMC or dodge 4500 is a class 4 truck a Ford F250 dodge or GMC 2500 is a class 2 truck a GMC 6500 or Ford F650 is a class 6 truck. class 7 & 8 truck require a CDL to drive * Class 1 (gvw 0-6,000) * Class 2 (gvw 6,001-10,000) * Class 3 (gvw 10,001-14,000) * Class 4 (gvw 14,001-16,000) yes it is * Class 5 (gvw 16,001-19,500) * Class 6 (gvw 19,501-26,000) * Class 7 (gvw 26,001-33,000) * Class 8 (gvw 33,001-150,000)
Peterbilt manufactures trucks in weight classes 5 through 8. A Class 5 truck has a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of 16,501 - 19,000 lbs. A Class 6 truck has a GVWR of 19,001 - 26,000 lbs. A Class 7 truck has a GVWR of 26,001 - 33,000 lbs. A Class 8 truck has a GVWR of 33,001 lbs. and up. Which one you have in mind depends on what model and configuration of Peterbilt truck you had in mind.
Well, dump trucks range in size greatly. You can make a dump truck out of a one ton pickup truck, if you so wish. The US truck classification system lists a Class 8 truck as being anything over a 33,000 lbs. Gross Vehicle Weight Rating. 33,000 lbs. is the max allowed for a two axle unit, so, basically, any tandem axle vehicle (and all tractor trailers) are going to be Class 8 trucks. However, the licence class in the USA is different. Most Class 7 and Class 8 dump trucks can be driven with a Class B CDL. However, if that dump truck is going to be towing a trailer rated at over 10,000 lbs., then the same Class A CDL required for a tractor trailer will be required to operate that combination of dump truck and trailer.
That depends on Gross Vehicle Weight Rating, not length. You could be talking about anything from a Class 3 truck up to a Class 8 truck.
