There is no number of axles specified - it's based on weight limits. Licence classification varies between states. A Class C licence could be a Class C CDL or, if the state retains the Class C designation for non-CDL licences (most states are doing away with the non-commercial Class C), then it would normally be used for exempt vehicles (motor homes, registered farm vehicles), regular passenger vehicles, and commercial vehicles of 26,000 lbs. GVWR or less which aren't transporting hazardous materials or designed to transport more than 15 passengers (including the driver). A Class C CDL would be used for vehicles under 26,001 lbs. GVWR which are either used for transporting quantities of hazardous materials which require placards to be displayed, or buses designed to transport more than 15 persons (including the driver).

What driver license for a street sweeper?
For a single axle, it depends what it's registered as. If it's registered as a vehicle with a 26,000 Gross Vehicle Weight Rating or less, your regular Class C, Class D, whatever licence your state requires for you to operate an ordinary passenger car is all you need. Tandem axle trucks and single axle trucks rated at more than 26,000 lbs. GVWR require a Class B CDL.Also, not all of them are built on chassis which makes them a highway vehicle - e.g., the Elgin Pelican sweepers are considered off-highway equipment, the same as a forklift, front end loader, etc., and do not require any upgraded license to be operated.

How much weight can a single axle truck pull by law?
You're making up laws and asking about them. Typically, the max gross vehicle combination weight permitted for interstate travel is 80,000 lbs. A single axle tractor pulling a set of doubles can do this.. in states which permit triples, it can have an even higher gross vehicle weight rating. It also depends on your class of licence. If you have a regular Class C or D (depending on the state issuing it), you can operate any combination of vehicles up to 26,000 lbs. Gross Vehicle Weight Rating. With a Class B CDL, you can operate a combination of over 26,000 lbs. GVWR, so long as the vehicle in tow is rated at and is weighing less than 10,000 lbs. And a Class A CDL is required for combinations rated over 26,000 lbs. GVWR when the vehicle in tow is rated at over 10,000 lbs. So long as the total weight rating of the combination is within the range specified by the class of licence you possess, and you're compliant with axle weight laws, you're good to go, generally.

What license do you need to drive snowplow truck?
That depends on exactly what you're driving. A pickup truck with a snowplow mounted on the front doesn't require a CDL. A single axle dump truck weighing under 26,000 lbs doesn't, either. The moment that vehicle weighs over 26,000 lbs., or if you're driving a tandem/tri-axle/quad axle/etc. dump truck with a plow, then you need a Class B CDL. If, at any point, you're driving a combination (of truck and trailer) with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of over 26,000 lbs, and the vehicle in tow is rated at over 10,000 lbs, then you need a Class A CDL.
