Best Answer

A light truck is any truck under 4000 lbs, while a heavy truck is a truck heavier than 26,001 lbs.

One difference between the two drivers would be the license requirement. A driver of a heavy truck is required to have a Class A commercial license while a light truck driver only needs a regular Class C license.

Another difference is that a Class A driver is subject to U.S. Department of Transportation oversight, so the driver must maintain a logbook, have a medical examination every two years, and is subject to random drug tests.

In addition, a large truck driver is likely to be paid more than a person driving a light truck.
