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.

What is a class F license?

You need to identify which state. The only licence classes which are universal throughout all 50 states are the CDLs - Commercial Drivers Licences, which come in Class A, Class B, and Class C. Non-CDLs are left to the states to categorise and determine classifications. A Class D licence in North Carolina is a Class R licence in Colorado, etc.


Does the type of brakes on trucks determine if you need a cdl license?

No. The weight determines what class licence you must obtain (there are non-CDL Class A and B licences available), and the usage is what determines whether or not you actually need a CDL class licence to operate it.


What is a Class B drivers license?

A Class B licence covers all single vehicles (non articulating) with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of 26,0001 lbs. or more. In addition, a trailer rated at no more than 10,000 lbs. may be pulled, as well. Depending on the vehicle's usage, a CDL Class B licence may be required, or it may be operable with a non-CDL class B licence.


Does holding a learners permit mean you have a c class license?

No. It means you have a learner's permit. Licence classification varies by state. In some states, a Class C licence is a 'typical' licence, and, in other states, classes A, B, and C are reserved exclusively for CDLs, and a standard operator's permit would be class D or E.


Do you need a cdl license to buy a truck?

Not necessarily, although you do need the appropriate class licence to actually operate it. You can operate anything up to 26,000 lbs. GVWR on a standard Class C licence. Anything above that, you either need a non-CDL Class B or A licence, or a Class A or B CDL, depending on what type of truck it is specifically, and if its use permits it to fall within any of the exceptions for requiring an actual CDL (registered farm vehicle, etc).


Does CDL class A override a CDL class B?

Not sure what you mean, exactly. Class A is considered the "higher" classification, yes. If you have a Class A CDL, you can operate vehicles requiring that class of licence or any class below that. You could operate a vehicle requiring a Class B CDL, for example, but a driver with a Class B CDL wouldn't be permitted to operate a combination requiring a Class A CDL.


What type of license do you need for 1996 international flatbed tow truck?

International manufactures Class 5 through Class 8 trucks.. what licence you need depends on what model you have. If the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (i.e., the max loaded weight) is 26,000 lbs. or less, you can drive it on a regular drivers licence. If it's rated at more than 26,000 lbs., you need a Class B CDL.


Can you get your CDL license while your class b license is suspended?

If I'm interpreting this correctly, you're asking if you can downgrade a suspended CDL and be able to drive on a regular operator's licence. It does not work that way. While the suspension period on any licence is active, you may not acquire or possess any other class of licence, nor operate a vehicle on any other class of licence. If you wish to downgrade your CDL, you will have to wait until you have met the criteria to restore your licence and driving privilege, then request a downgraded licence at the DMV once you have done this.

Can you rent a class b truck?

Class B isn't a category of truck - it's a type of licence needed to operate a heavy duty truck not towing a trailer in excess of 10,000 lbs. Those would be Class 7 (GVWR of 26,001 to 33,000 lbs) and Class 8 (GVWR in excess of 33,000 lbs.) trucks. Penske and Ryder Truck Rental both lease these classes of truck.


Do you need a truck to get a class b license?

Yes. You're required to take a road test for the licence, and the DMV does not provide a vehicle.
