There are three classes of CDL -
Class A: Commercial vehicle combinations with a Gross Combination Weight Rating of 26,001 lbs. or higher, in which the vehicle in tow (trailer) has a weight rating of greater than 10,000 lbs.
Class B: Single commercial vehicles with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of 26,001 lbs. or higher. Additionally, a Class B CDL holder may also pull a trailer with a weight rating of no more than 10,000 lbs.
Class C: Used for vehicles or combinations with a weight rating of 26,000 lbs. or less. Even though vehicles under 26,001 lbs. don't usually require a CDL, they do require one when they're carrying hazardous materials, or are buses designed to transport more than 15 persons (including the driver).
