I drive a 39' Class A pusher with air brakes. Data as follows:
GVWR (lbs) -- 31,000/Front GAWR 12,000/Rear 19,000
Base weight (lbs) 22,605/GCWR 41,000
TOAD weight is about 3400 lbs.
Some sources say I am good to go with my Oklahoma Class A license.
Others seem to say if the weight is 26,001 or greater, I need a Class C.
I am confused.
Clarification and informed comments welcome.

When it comes to commercial (the C in CDL) GVWR of over 26,000 you need a class B. If pull a trailer with GVWR of 10,000 you need a class A. If I had a choice, would always hire A, because I could put him in any truck. If air brakes, need that endorsement.
