Class A Commercial Driver License (CDL)
A Class A Commercial Driver License (CDL) is mandatory because the combination vehicle has a Gross Combination Weight Rating (GCWR) exceeding 26,00026,000 pounds (29,50029,500 lbs) AND the towed vehicle has a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) exceeding 10,00010,000 pounds (11,50011,500 lbs).

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Evaluate the Gross Combination Weight Rating (GCWR) threshold.
The total GCWR is 29,50029,500 pounds, which exceeds the standard commercial threshold of 26,00026,000 pounds (26,001+26,001+ lbs).
Vehicle combinations with a GCWR of 26,001 lbs or more fall under commercial driver licensing standards.
2
Evaluate the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of the towed unit.
The towed unit's GVWR is 11,50011,500 pounds, which is greater than 10,00010,000 pounds.
Towing a vehicle exceeding 10,000 lbs GVWR when the GCWR is 26,001 lbs or more specifically mandates a Class A CDL.
