What are the vehicle size and weight requirements for class a b and c driver licenses?

Class C is any vehicle up to 26,000 lbs. GVWR, and not towing a trailer in excess of 10,000 lbs. GVWR. Class B is any vehicle with a GVWR in excess of 26,000 lbs., and not towing a trailer in excess of 10,000 lbs. GVWR.


Do you Need a cdl for a ford f700?

Depends. It is often sold and registered as a 26,000 lb. GVWR vehicle (the actual GVWR is 24,500 lbs). So, by itself, it would not require a CDL. However, if this vehicle is towing a trailer which puts it at over 26,000 lbs. Gross Combination Weight Rating, then a CDL would be required (Class B if the trailer is under 10,000 lbs. GVWR, Class A if the trailer is over 10,000 lbs. GVWR).


Can you tow a 15ft. forklift trailer with a 28ft. flatbed truck with a class B license?

The length of the trailer and truck is immaterial. What matters are the weight ratings.Truck with a GVWR of 26,000 lbs. or less = no CDL requiredTruck with a GVWR of 26,001 lbs. or more = Class B CDL requiredIn either instance, you can pull a trailer with a GVWR or 10,000 lbs. or less without having to upgrade to a Class A CDL. However, if that trailer has a GVWR of 10,001 lbs. or more, and it brings the Gross Combined weight rating in excess of 26,000 lbs. - regardless the GVWR of the power unit - then a Class A CDL is required

No, you don't. RVs are exempted from CDL requirements. Your state, however, may require that you upgrade your licence if the vehicle is over 26,000 lbs. GVWR.


Understanding Truck Trailer Weights?

There are many people who, when shopping around for a truck trailer, dismiss several trailers because of the weight rating. While some may be doing so for the right reasons, others may be misinterpreting the information and disregarding a perfectly valid trailer. When they look at the weight label on the outside of the truck trailer, they will see that the weight listed exceeds the amount that their truck can tow. This is not the weight rating that you should be looking for when making this decision, however. The weight listed on the outside of the truck trailer is known as the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating, or GVWR. The GVWR tells you the total amount of weight that the trailer can carry. This means that if the trailer itself weighs six thousand pounds, and the GVWR is eight thousand pounds, the trailer can carry two thousand pounds. It is entirely possible for you to tow a trailer with a GVWR that is higher than your towing capacity, as long as the weight of the trailer itself is not higher than the towing capacity. When buying a truck trailer, then, there are a couple things to consider in relation to weight. First of all, you need to take into account how much weight you plan on towing. The amount of weight that you add to the trailer should not cause the total weight of the trailer to exceed the GVWR. In addition to this, you need to consider if the total weight that you plan to tow will exceed the towing capacity of your truck. These are two separate considerations. The GVWR is not used to determine if your truck can two the trailer, it is used to determine how much weight can be safely placed on the trailer. As long as the trailer is made by a manufacturer that is a member of the Recreation Vehicle Industry Association, as it should be, a weight rating label with more detailed information can be found on the inside of the trailer. This will list the GVWR, the Unloaded Vehicle Weight, and the amount of weight that can be added to the trailer, known as the Cargo Carrying Capacity. The Unloaded Vehicle Weight is the weight of the trailer itself. This is the factor that you should be looking at when deciding if it is possible for you to tow the trailer. The GVWR simply tells you the total weight you would be towing if the trailer was completely filled to capacity.

How much can a truck gross weight with a 34 ft trailer?

Well, that's going to depend on the Gross Vehicle Weight Ratings of the power unit and of the trailer. If it was a tractor-trailer with a trailer that short, then it wouldn't be able to gross 80k - in order to do that, the bridge between the drive tandems on the power unit and the tandems on the trailer must be at least 35 feet - a length greater than the trailer you described. You'd need some specifics about the tow vehicle and the trailer in order for this question to be answered accurately. We only know a trailer length - we don't know the GVWR of the trailer, and nothing about the tow unit, which could be anything from a Class 1 truck (0 - 6000 lbs. GVWR) up to a Class 8 truck (GVWR in excess of 33,000 lbs).
