- A trailer of any weight which carries an amount of hazardous materials that requires the display of placards under the FMCSR
- Any time the combination of power unit and trailer creates a combination rated at over 26,000 lbs. GVWR, and which is not exempt from CDL requirements.
CDL requirements are based on the weight ratings of vehicles or combinations of vehicle and trailer. If you attach a trailer rated at 15,000 lbs. to a truck rated at 10,000 lbs, it doesn't require a CDL. If you operate a truck rated at 26,000 lbs., you don't need a CDL. Take that same 15,000 lb. rated trailer off of the 10,000 lb. truck, and put it on the 26,000 lb. rated truck, and you need a Class A CDL to operate that combination.
