Sometimes. Depends on the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of the vehicle, whether its use is for interstate or intrastate commerce, etc.
Does a 2500 truck need to cross weigh scales?
If it is used for commercial purposes in interstate or intrastate commerce then yes you do have to cross scales at weight stations. You are also subject to the same laws of a typical commercial vehicle. If it's used as a private vehicle then no.
Do you need a cdl to drive an air brake vehicle that is under 26000 lb gross vehicle weight in nyc?
A vehicle having or not having air brakes has no bearing on whether or not it requires a CDL. On the weight rating, New York State has a pretty unique law. While federal law permits vehicles up to 26,000 lbs. to be driven without a CDL, New York requires that an intrastate commercial use vehicle with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of more than 18,000 lbs. requires a CDL.
Can you haul a load under 26000 LBS over state lines without a CDL?
The weight of the load isn't so much what's important as the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of the vehicle transporting it. The GVWR is the weight that vehicle is rated to be at when fully loaded - if the vehicle weighs 18,000 lbs. with the load it has, but has a GVWR (or Gross Combined Weight Rating in the instance of vehicles with trailers) of more than 26,000 lbs., then it required a CDL, period, whether you're crossing state lines or operating intrastate. Now if the vehicle has a GVWR of less than 26,000 lbs, it won't require a CDL, but will require a DOT medical card.
Does a 24 foot truck require you to have a cdl?
It may or may not. The length doesn't determine if it needs a CDL - the weight and usage do. If the vehicle is rated at more than 26,000 lbs (or more than 18,000 lbs. for an intrastate vehicle in New York state), and is used for commercial purposes, it requires a CDL.

Depends on the configuration and tare weight of the vehicle. A tandem axle roll-off with a 30 yard can on it weighs around 33,000 lbs.

(+/-) of payload.

The gross weight of a vehicle is the laden (loaded) weight. The Gross Vehicle Weight Rating is the maximum gross weight the vehicle is rated for. The opposite of this would be the tare weight, which is the empty weight of the vehicle.
What type of license do you need to drive a garbage truck?
it varies by state, in NY for example youll need a Class B Commercial Drivers License with an N endorsement (Tanker Endorsement). The variances by state are slight. The tanker endorsement to drive a garbage truck is a New York thing, but license classification requirements are based on vehicle Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (or Gross Combination Weight Rating, in the instance of combination vehicles). If the truck is a single vehicle with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating in excess of 26,000 lbs. GVWR, then a Class B CDL is required. If it's under 26,000 lbs. GVWR, then a CDL is usually not required, although, from my understanding, some states have required intrastate commercial vehicles from 18,001 - 26,000 lbs. GVWR to be operated by persons with a Class C CDL.
What is the purpose of getting a tare weight on a vehicle?
