Yes. You'll need a vehicle to road test in for the upgrade.
Yes
The class of the Commercial Drivers License , A, B or C refers to the weight of the vehicle. When a person gets a CDL, they take the General Knowledge test.
Absolutely. It just has to be a vehicle requiring a Class B CDL - nowhere does it say that it has to be a dump truck, roll-off, etc.
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.
for basic general knowledge, class B, test, there are 50 questions
As much as your state charges... CDL requirements are federally regulated, but prices are not. All you have to do to upgrade to an "A" permit is take the combination vehicles written test and pay the fee.
If it's just the power unit, with no trailer attached, they can do it with a Class B. But they must have a CDL to take that vehicle on a public roadway.
No you don't all you have to do is establish residency and go to DMV to have it transfered but theres a cost depending on the State.
You have to take the written test, and take a road test in the appropriate class of passenger vehicle. If you have a Class B CDL, but your road test is in a vehicle requiring only a Class C CDL, then your endorsement will come with a restriction limiting you to Class C passenger vehicles. If you're trying to get endorsed for a school bus, a criminal background check is also required. The DMV can tell you how to go about doing this.
License fees vary from state to state - you'll have to inquire with your state's DMV on this, as I do not know what your state is.
You can obtain a CDL class B license at your local DMV. To obtain a CDL class B license you are required to take several tests before obtaining your license.
