Since I know there will still be posters saying that you need a class A or B license if your combo is over 26k, here is the law:
Class C
Authorizes an individual to drive any single vehicle or combination of vehicles that is not a Class A or Class B if the vehicle is:
Designed to transport 16 to 23 passengers including the driver
Used in the transportation of hazardous materials that require the vehicle to be placarded
Class B
Authorizes an individual to drive any:
Single vehicle with a GVWR of 26,001 pounds or more; any one of those vehicles that is towing a vehicle does not exceed a GVWR of 10,000 pounds
Vehicle designed to transport 24 passengers or more including the driver
note, single vehicle OVER 26k
Class A
Authorizes an individual to drive a vehicle or combination of vehicles:
Not described under a Class B or Class C driver license
With a GVWR of 26,001 pounds or more provided the GVWR of the vehicle(s) towed is in excess of 10,000 pounds including vehicles in Class B or Class C
Note:
A means tow vehicle over 26k pulling trailer over 10k
B means tow vehicle over 26k pulling trailer under 10k
C means tow vehicle under 26k pulling any trailer
The tow vehicle GVWR is the key. Hopefully this clears up the confusion, the law is very hard to understand.
yes, they left out the 'combined' word and letter, but that was the intent. (and matches the fed regs).
I think 'or combination of vehicles: With a GVWR of 26,001 pounds or more' makes it GCVWR..
