Not necessarily, although you do need the appropriate class licence to actually operate it. You can operate anything up to 26,000 lbs. GVWR on a standard Class C licence. Anything above that, you either need a non-CDL Class B or A licence, or a Class A or B CDL, depending on what type of truck it is specifically, and if its use permits it to fall within any of the exceptions for requiring an actual CDL (registered farm vehicle, etc).
Does a mechanic need a CDL to road test fire trucks?
He needs a CDL to drive a fire truck on the highway. Most heavy duty truck mechanics have that license. In my state (CT) you can drive a fire truck with a Class B (straight truck CDL) or what we call a Q endorsement which is a fire apparatus only endorsement of your normal license. You take the Class B test and they'll give you just the Q. I don't think its as "governed" as the CDL is. On another note the Q endorsement lets you drive any FD truck from the little ones to the 80,000 lb ladder truck if you get checked out on it. I understand the intent of the law or allowance I should say, but there are considerations,hazards, and skill about handling that kind of weight which was covered in my Class A CDL class that weren't really mentioned on my Q. If that ladder was a commercial vehicle you would need an A license for that weight.
