3500 truck needs CDL?

[farm boy00]

Not to throw a curve ball even harder in this decision but where do you guys seem to find all this info correctly?? I'm looking for requirements in the state of Michigan for my f550 and can't find anything. Googled a bunch of different things to try to find the requirements for Michigan but can up with nothing.

SOS - Who Needs a CDL?

Reads the same as federal.

Any single vehicle over over 26k
Combos over 26k w/ a trailer over 10k
16 ppl or more, hazmat

With exemptions for farm, firefighters, military use, and personal use

I hit this first try.

Always look for .gov or similar first

Exactly what I hit. And the link you clicked on (in purple) is the one I have linked. Same exact search terminology:thumbsup:

Must be something with searching my smart phone. Couldn't pull up anything close to that. Could get to Michigan website but wouldn't give me very much for options

Not all states give out Noncommercial Class A's.. Types of Driver's Licenses - AAA Digest of Motor Laws

Remember, we were talking about CDL's here, which are commercial, not any other requirements a state may require, though it probably is a good idea to know what your state requires.

Florida has a basic license. Class E

We used to have a class D / farm /chaufer - they phased it out.

We have class A-B-C that are all called CDL.

We have no non commercial A-B-C.

Our old Class D was basically a Class C, non commercial.... but again.. it's gone.

So.. we are still at combos under 26k no cdl right? reguardless if the trailer is over 10k. ??

Correct. I don't know if its state or federal but over 17k combo needs a medical card. AND as long as you are not engaged in business uses.

If towing commercially.....correct. If towing non commercially..... I guess we can say it varies by state.

Never seen anything to that effect on the fed site. Are you saying that in PA, any combo over 17k for personal use needs a medical card? And you say "And as long as not engaged in business use"..........What if the combo is over 17k and IS used for business?
