Best Answer

When you're operating...

  • A commercial vehicle with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of more than 26,000 lbs.
  • A combination vehicle used for a commercial purpose which has a Gross Combination Weight Rating of more than 26,000 lbs. (so, even if the two vehicle itself doesn't require a CDL, if the weight rating of the combination is over 26k when the trailer is attached, a CDL is required)
  • Commercial buses of any weight class which are designed to transport more than 15 persons (including the driver)
  • Any vehicle of any weight class which is transporting quantities of hazardous materials which require the display of hazmat placards under the FCSR

Although exempted from requiring a CDL under the federal regulations, many states and individual fire departments require their vehicle operators to possess a CDL.
