That's based on the Gross Weight Rating of the vehicle, not the actual given weight at any time. If the GVW is in excess of 26,000 lbs., it requires a CDL, even if it weighs less at any given time. A bobtail semi might weight 17,000 lbs. empty, but still require a CDL, since their GVW is over 26,000 lbs.
You only need a cdl license while driving a box truck if the gross weight of the truck is 26,001 or more. Most uhaul rental boxes are able to be driven without a cdl.
Single vehicles with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of 26,001 lbs. or more, OR combinations (truck + trailer) with a Gross Combination Weight Rating of 26,001 lbs. or more WHEN the trailer being towed does not have a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating in excess of 10,000 lbs.
A truck is normally driven from the front.
The smallest dump truck that does not require a Commercial Driver's License (CDL) is typically a Class 6 truck.

It is not legal to drive without a driver's license. Drivers are expected to carry their license with them whenever they are using their car or truck.

It can be done.
The weight of a concrete mixer truck can vary depending on the size of the truck and if the truck is weighted with concrete it may be carrying. A concrete mixer truck is about 20,000 to 30,000 pounds without concrete.
Yes. In most cases you will need a CDL Class B license because of the weight of the truck. However, if you would be driving a semi with a dump trailer, you would need a CDL Class A license.
A CDL is a commercial drivers license and is only necessary if the vehicle to be driven meets one or more of these criteria, used to transport hazardous waste, any commercial vehicle with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of 26,001LBs or more, or that it carries 16 or more passengers(driver included).
