26,000 lbs. is what the manufacturer rates it at. So long as you do not let that vehicle get over a gross weight of 26,000 lbs, you do not need a CDL to operate it.
The only times you are required to have a CDL for a vehicle under 26,000 lbs. is when it's carrying a sufficient quantity of hazardous materials that placards must be displayed, or if it's designed to carry more than 15 persons (including the driver).
If you're attaching a trailer to this 26,000 lb. truck, then you are creating a combination which is rated at over 26,000 lbs. GVWR, and will need a CDL with air brake allowance - Class B is the trailer or vehicle in tow is rated under 10,000 lbs, Class A if the trailer or vehicle in tow is rated over 10,000 lbs.
