That depends on a couple of things. The first is whether it's a Class C CDL or not. In the case of a Class C CDL, it permits the operator to operate a vehicle or combination with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating or Gross Combination Weight Rating of 26,000 lbs. or less - vehicles which do not normally require a CDL, but for which the operator is required to have a CDL because one of the following three conditions is in effect:

  • The vehicle is transporting a quantity of hazardous materials which requires the display of hazmat placards under 49 CFR. This would require a Class C CDL with Hazmat endorsement.
  • The vehicle is a bus designed to transport more than 15 persons (including the driver). This would require a Class C CDL with Passenger endorsement (or a school bus endorsement in the case of a bus being used to transport school children)
  • The vehicle is a NY-registered commercial vehicle with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating/Gross Combination Weight Rating of 18,001 lbs. or more.

For non-CDL licenses, jurisdiction over classification is given to the states. Thus, classification of non-CDL licenses can vary greatly between states. One state's Class C license may be very different from another state's, while other states have done away with the C classification in order to avoid confusion with a Class C CDL.
