I was running from columbus to crawfordsville friday and passed Kkm hauler going up 65 heading to tulsa my question is do you have to have class a cdl to drive one? I know I use to see alot of haulers advertised for sale said the were registered as a rv and didn't need a cdl is that still the case? Just curious I have my class b cdl and didn't know how it was anymore

When you see teams post that they are looking for full time crew members, most of the time a CDL license is a requirement for the position.

A f350 or chevy, dodge 3500 is registered as a commercial vehicle with at least 10,000 GVWR. If you put a shovel in it to go make money (it is about making money) it has to have a DOT number. If any of these trucks pull a triple axle trailer with 8 lug tires (7000 lb) axles they are now a 31000 GVWR and have to have class B license. Class B starts at 26000 lbs. If it has air brakes you have to have at least a "B" license with an air brake indorsement. I think it is at 40000 that the "A" license is required. These toters can be equipped any way you want, but the DOT asks what are you doing with it. If you are making money than it is now a commercial vehicle. A taxi cab is a commercial vehicle and has to be registered as such.

A F350 or 3500 truck isn’t registered as a commercial vehicle. By your logic if I take my Chevy 2500 HD and hook it onto a trailer I’m a commercial vehicle. If you are operating a comm. vehicle that is under 26,000 pounds you have to have a class B cdl. Anything 26,001 pounds and over requires a class A cdl.
