F350's and 3500's generally do not require DOT licensing is necessary. However, if the vehicle is used for hire (for example, you use it for business purposes, hauling a utility trailer with supplies for a company, or if you are a contractor, or carpenter, or into construction and use it for transporting equipment and / or products, then yes,... you'd need the DOT license.
If for your private use, then no. I do think the F350 and 3500's do need a commercial type licensing in Australia, from what I've gathered on these forums. But, Maryland is a long way from Australia! :B
When you get into the MDT trucks, then you start getting into questionable territory.
Commercial licences in Australia refer to the business , not the type of vehicle.
F350's do not need a different licence only when their GVWR exceeds 10,000lb, they need a truck licence, but unlike what it sounds like it is NOT a Commercial Licence, but a rating for Drivers
