Any time you are operating a vehicle with a Gross Combination Weight Rating of over 26,000 lbs., and in which the vehicle in tow (trailer) has a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of over 10,000 lbs. A tractor trailer requires a Class A CDL. A truck rated at 26,000 lbs. which is towing an equipment trailer rated at more than 10,000 lbs. would require a Class A CDL, as well.

This does not apply to vehicles which are not the jurisdiction of the FMCSA, such as:

  • Recreational vehicles and motorhomes
  • Registered farm vehicles
  • Military vehicles
  • Firefighter and first response vehicles

Does CDL class A override a CDL class B?

Not sure what you mean, exactly. Class A is considered the "higher" classification, yes. If you have a Class A CDL, you can operate vehicles requiring that class of licence or any class below that. You could operate a vehicle requiring a Class B CDL, for example, but a driver with a Class B CDL wouldn't be permitted to operate a combination requiring a Class A CDL.
