Do you have to have a special driver's license?

With a 34-38 foot class A does one need a special driver's license?

I can only speak for Texas residents,here if your GVWR exceeds 26000 lbs(wieght not length) then you need a Class A non-commercial.get your states drivers handbook for both non-commercial and commercial and read up.

Not in Wa. State.

Why would you not ask your state's DMV or who ever issues driver's licenses? Don't you think that would be a better option than asking a bunch of people you don't know who most likely don't know? Had you called them you would have already had the answer by now and you would also have the right answer.

Wow. Someone's real cranky today!

Have 'you' ever tried calling a DMV office and get a real person to answer a question? I've tried and have yet to ever get a live person on the phone. Although I can recite where all the DMV centers are and the hours of operation, cause that's all the good a phone call to them is worth.


To the OP: Yes it differs from state to state. Best luck is found going to your local DMV website. Lots of good info there.

BTW: Welcome to the forum. It is and DOES get better than this. :W

LOL.. yeah. Some folks value an answer told to them by someone else, regardless if it's the *right* answer.

I think each state is different. In California I think 36 feet is the cutoff. Under 36, no special license. 36 and longer, you need the special license. I'm not 100%...

Nobody I know does.
