Gross weight is the total weight of the packaging/vehicle and its contents when loaded, as opposed to either the tare weight (the empty package/vehicle) or the net weight (only that of the contents/load).
There are 2,000 lbs in one ton thus 12,500 lbs is 6.25 tons.
If the Gross Combination Weight Rating (the combined Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of the truck and of the trailer) is in excess of 26,000 lbs., and the vehicle is of a type which does not fall under an exemption to CDL requirements (emergency vehicle, registered farm vehicle, military vehicle, or recreational vehicle), then yes, you need a CDL.
To determine if your 2004 E350 van is a one-ton or three-quarter ton vehicle, check the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) on the vehicle's compliance label, typically located on the driver's side door jamb. A one-ton van generally has a GVWR of around 10,000 pounds, while a three-quarter ton van typically has a GVWR of around 8,600 to 9,700 pounds. You can also look at the vehicle's payload capacity; one-ton vehicles can carry more weight compared to three-quarter ton vehicles. Additionally, consult the owner’s manual or vehicle specifications for detailed information.

GLW is Gross Laden Weight.
That depends on the vehicle's Gross Vehicle Weight Rating. Something like a one ton pickup, which will be well under a 26,000 gross, won't require one. Something like a single axle rated at 26,001 lbs. or higher or a tandem truck will require a CDL.
Commercial trucks with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of 10,001 lbs. or more. So, basically, a one ton pickup and larger, when used for commercial purposes.
A one ton has a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of 13,000 - 15,000 lbs., depending on make and model. This does not require a CDL.
