This license type allows drivers to operate vehicles with a gross combination weight rating (GCWR) of 26,001 pounds or more where the towed vehicle exceeds 10,000 pounds. Common examples of Class A vehicles include tractor-trailers, tanker trucks, and flatbeds. This permit also qualifies drivers to operate Class B and Class C vehicles.
However, if your vehicle has specialized equipment, like air brakes, or if you’re handling the transport of hazardous materials, you’ll need additional endorsements. The Class A CDL is ideal for those looking to drive interstate or intrastate, significantly expanding job opportunities. Get further information about Nevada CDL requirements.
This one covers single vehicles with a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of 26,001 pounds or more, as long as the towed vehicle is under 10,000 pounds. Straight trucks, large buses, and dump trucks fall into this category. While not as versatile as a Class A license, a Class B CDL is perfect for those driving within the state for jobs that involve heavy but smaller loads.
For drivers who need to transport dangerous materials or operate vehicles carrying 16 or more passengers, the Class C CDL is the appropriate choice. This license applies to smaller passenger buses, vans, and vehicles carrying regulated materials. Although more limited, it is essential for those working in specific industries like school transportation or hazardous waste management.
Before obtaining any CDL, you first need a Commercial Learner’s Permit. This one allows you to practice driving commercial vehicles under the supervision of a licensed CDL holder. To qualify for a CLP in Nevada, you have to:
