Best Answer

The Class C CDL is intended for vehicles with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of under 26,000 lbs., but which still require a CDL. Some examples include:

  • Vehicles of any weight rating which are hauling a quantity of hazardous materials which requires placards to be displayed must be operated by a driver with a CDL and hazmat endorsement
  • Vehicles of any weight rating which are designed to transport more than 15 persons (including the driver) requires a CDL and passenger endorsement
  • New York State law requires than anyone operating a vehicle on a for-hire basis with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of more than 18,000 lbs. possess a CDL. A Class C CDL would cover vehicles with a GVWR of between 18,001 and 26,000 lbs.

To operate ANY vehicle which requires a CDL of ANY class in ALL states (this is federal law - it doesn't vary by state), the driver must have, along with the appropriate class of CDL (A, B, C), a DOT Medical Card. However, this is assuming you're were referring to a Class C CDL - several states issue a non-CDL Class C licence.

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.
