Do I Need a CDL License - Brechbill Trailers

Finally a common sense explanation. THANK YOU!

Should be noted that there are many exceptions to this 26k gcwr rule, one that I have personal experience with, is if you own a farm, as long as you are within 250 miles of your farm you do not need a cdl but can still be greater than 26k.

Are we sure it is a CDL or a Class-A license that is required? DPS explained to me that in Texas there is both a "Class-A" license and a "Class-A CDL" license. The first type (Class-A) allows over 26, 000 combined weight for personal towing (provided not crossing state lines), but if one is paid for the work, then a "Class-A CDL" is required. Can someone confirm this?

You were on the right path. Then you made up your own ruel. So it reads like this,

If your GCVWR is over 26000lb and it includes a trailer with a gvwr over 10, 000lb. Then you need a cdl.

Not in California though here towing any trailer with GVWR above 10k pounds will require a cdl class b at least

I have a Ford f550 dump truck rated at 18000lbs gvwr and I pull a trailer rated at just under 10, 000lbs with a small 8000lb track machine. Do I need a CDL?

Your content only applies to a Commercial truck & trailer. In Pennsylvania, there is a NON-Commercial Class A.
With a Non-Commercial Class A, there is no drug or health screening requirement.

Anything over 26k as your moving you need a cdl .

Several states require a cdl if the trailer is over 10, 000 lbs regardless of the vehicle towing it.
