What do the terms “Class A”, “Class B”, and “Class C” denote on a Texas CDL?
• “Class A” licensing allows you to operate vehicles that tow trailers, or other vehicles with a GVWR over 10,000 lbs. This license also allows you to operate “Class B” and “Class C” vehicles. • “Class B” licensing allows you to operate single vehicles with a GVWR over 26,000 lbs, or towing trailers/vehicles rated at 10,000 lbs GVWR or less. This license also allows you to operate “Class C” vehicles. • “Class C” licensing allows you to operate vehicles with a GVWR under 26,000 lbs that would normally not require a CDL, except when they are designed to transport 16 or more persons, including the driver; carry 15 or fewer people, including the driver, and transport children to or from school and home regularly for compensation; or carry hazardous materials in amounts requiring placarding.
