Firefighting and emergency vehicles are exempt from CDL requirements under federal law. While it wouldn't hurt to have a CDL, it's not necessity. Georgia, however, has non-CDL Class A and B licences, and you'd most likely be required to have one of those.
You have to take a computer test & get a class B noncommercial learning permit. After that log a certain number of hours driving the apparatus. Return to the DMV with a form from your Chief & they will swap your learning permit with a regular noncommercial class B license.
Yes you do need a CDL License to drive a bucket truck.
No, just to drive it.
It depends on the model. You need a CDL to drive one that bends in the middle or is over a certain length
If it's a truck which anyone else would be required to have a CDL to drive, then yes.
If the vehicle requires a CDL in service, it'll require a CDL for the test drive.
He needs a CDL to drive a fire truck on the highway. Most heavy duty truck mechanics have that license. In my state (CT) you can drive a fire truck with a Class B (straight truck CDL) or what we call a Q endorsement which is a fire apparatus only endorsement of your normal license. You take the Class B test and they'll give you just the Q. I don't think its as "governed" as the CDL is. On another note the Q endorsement lets you drive any FD truck from the little ones to the 80,000 lb ladder truck if you get checked out on it. I understand the intent of the law or allowance I should say, but there are considerations,hazards, and skill about handling that kind of weight which was covered in my Class A CDL class that weren't really mentioned on my Q. If that ladder was a commercial vehicle you would need an A license for that weight.
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.
Well that depends what kind of truck you want to drive. For huge eighteen wheelers you do need a CDL. You can take classes at your local community college for a CDL license.
You would need a Class A CDL for Dump Truck. It's not as intense as more restrictive classes of CDL.
Yes
Depends. You can drive up to a Class 6 truck (up to 26,000 lbs. GVWR) without a CDL. Class 7 or Class 8 trucks require a CDL.
To drive a cement truck legally, you need a class B CDL (Commercial Drivers License). At 18, you can apply for a class B CDL.
