That depends on what the weight rating of the vehicle is. You could be talking about something like an F350 with a flatbed body, a tandem axle straight truck, or a tractor-trailer.. all three have different licence requirements.
Vehicles under 26,000 lbs. Gross Vehicle Weight Rating typically do not require a CDL, except in certain instances of where the vehicle is either hauling hazardous materials which require the display of placards, or where the vehicle is a bus designed to transport more than 15 persons (including the driver). If it doesn't meet either of these criteria, the only other way it would require a CDL if it was a NY registered vehicle with a GVWR of more than 18,000 lbs. and operating in the state of New York. In all of those instances, it would require a Class C CDL - if it doesn't meet any of that criteria, it doesn't require a CDL.
If it's a single vehicle with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of more than 26,000 lbs, then a Class B CDL is required. Additionally, a trailer with a weight rating of up to (but not in excess of) 10,000 lbs. may be towed.
For combination vehicles with a Gross Combination Weight Rating in excess of 26,000 lbs, in which the vehicle in tow (usually a trailer) itself has a weight rating in excess of 10,000 lbs., then a Class A CDL is required.
