Do I need a CDL?

[knox gsl]

As per the OP's first post you will need a CDL to pull a trailer over 10K in the US with exceptions being RV's and farm use equipment. Commercial trailers over 10K and trucks over 26k need a CDL if your using it to move material, goods or equipment in exchange for money.

I'm not a lawer or DOT officer so please check with your local DMV.

On the back of my license it has endorsements only no restrictions.
P-passenger >15 including driver.
T-Double/Triple Trailer
N-Tanker >1000 gallons

This is a class A Combination vehicals >26000 lbs GCVW

I have a section open for restrictions but there are none listed. I do how ever know that I'm not alowed to operate a school bus with students on board with out a special course from the TN DOT.

You obviously can't read either.

Why don't you C & P where it say you need a CDL to tow over 10k.

That's what is listed on my license card. Class A with P,T, and N endorsements and no restrictions. I'm not sure how I could be wrong about what I'm reading off the plastic card that has been in my wallet for years.

Ok I went down stairs and got my most current copy of the Commercial Driver License Manuel. (2009)
It states that you need a CDL to pull a trailer over 10K only if the manufactors GCVW of the the tow vehical and trailer exceed 26K. That means that if you're pulling a 10K trailer with a F250 no cdl but if pulling it with a F650 you will need a CDL

Now thats not really what it says is it? Post the exact sentence. You can tow a 10k trlr with a 26k truck for a GC total of 36k, no CDL

I agee if there was a serch before you post only policy there would be no lawn site, also not every thing is right for every person, one situation may be diffrent than another.
