Depends. If its transporting a quantity of hazardous materials which requires the display of placards or else is a bus designed to transport more than 15 persons (including the driver), then it's a commercial vehicle at any weight which requires the appropriate class of CDL and endorsements (for a vehicle under 26,001 GVWR/GCWR, it's a minimum Class C CDL), and all logging and HOS regulations apply.

It depends. If it's a vehicle of more than 10,000 lbs. GVWR being used in interstate commerce, yes. If it's a vehicle over 26,000 lbs. GVWR, yes. If it's a vehicle under 26,000 lbs.

Do you need a cdl to drive a welders truck?
If you're carrying quantities of oxyacetylene and oxygen which require the display of placards, and/or the vehicle has a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of more than 26,000 lbs., then yes you do. If it's under 26,000 lbs. GVWR and you must show hazmat placards for oxygen and acetylene, you need at least a Class C CDL with a hazmat endorsement. If you're not carrying those commodities in a quantity which requires placarding, you don't need a CDL. If the vehicle is a single vehicle or combination of over 26,000 lbs. GVWR/GCWR, and there is no trailer or a trailer in tow is under 10,000 lbs. GVWR, then you'll need a Class B CDL (with hazmat endorsement if applicable). If the vehicle is a combination with a higher than 26,000 lbs. GVWR, and the trailer in tow has a GVWR of more than 10,000 lbs., a Class A CDL is required (with hazmat endorsement if applicable).

GVWR requires a CDL, as well as any vehicle of any GVWR which is a bus designed to transport more than 15 persons (including the driver) or is carrying a quantity of hazardous materials which requires hazmat placards to be displayed.

Whether it has air brakes or not has absolutely zero impact as to whether the vehicle requires a CDL. None, whatsoever. Now the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of the vehicle will make a difference.

GVWR, and is not pulling a trailer rated at more than 10,000 lbs. GVWR, a Class B CDL will be required.

Can you haul a load under 26000 LBS over state lines without a CDL?
The weight of the load isn't so much what's important as the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of the vehicle transporting it. The GVWR is the weight that vehicle is rated to be at when fully loaded - if the vehicle weighs 18,000 lbs. with the load it has, but has a GVWR (or Gross Combined Weight Rating in the instance of vehicles with trailers) of more than 26,000 lbs., then it required a CDL, period, whether you're crossing state lines or operating intrastate. Now if the vehicle has a GVWR of less than 26,000 lbs, it won't require a CDL, but will require a DOT medical card.
