a comercial licence. the same one semi drivers have to have because of the gcvw it has.
A commercial drivers license or CDL is required to drive semi trucks, tractor trailers, and eighteen-wheelers. Most companies will require a minimum amount of experience or graduation from a truck driving school. Each state has slightly different requirements for their CDL so make sure you check your own state's requirements.
In the United States, a semi truck - unless its use falls under one of the exempt categories and criteria defined by the FMCSA (e.g., farm truck exemption, emergency vehicle exemption, et. al) - you need a Class A Commercial Drivers License which does not have the "no air brakes" restriction or the "no tractor-trailers restriction".A full grown Semi tractor trailer: CDL-A (Commercial Drivers License) it will cost you approximately anywhere from $2500 -$5000 to take the course. If you get hired on by certain companys such as Schneider, PAM, USA, England plus others they will either send you to class or teach you themselves.This license allows you to drive other trucks also such as a dump truck, garbage truck etc.... these only require a CDL-B class license. However the reverse is NOT true. If you have a CDL-B you are not qualified to drive a full grown semi tractor trailer. Hope this helps youo. Steve
The United States Department of Transportation handles the criteria for driving a semi truck or other big rig. Depending on what you are transporting there are five different levels of endorsements for semi truck drivers and they must have their CDL license also.
As a recreational vehicle.
You go to an actual truck driving school.
It would have to be licensed as an RV.
Yes, but you can't drive it.
You go to a truck driving school and learn how to drive a truck.
Most leases for semi's are long-term, so you would need to go to a truck rental company such as Ryder. The cost would depend on the size tractor you need and the size and type trailer you are seeking. Don't forget you will need a special license to drive the semi.
Someone who has been trained and licensed to do so.
