Which of the following vehicles would require a Class B CDL to operate?

Single vehicles with a GVWR of 26,001 pounds or more
Combination vehicles
Motorhomes
Passenger buses

The correct answer is: Single vehicles with a GVWR of 26,001 pounds or more

A Class B CDL is required to operate single vehicles with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of 26,001 pounds or more. This classification is designed for drivers of larger vehicles that do not exceed the specified weight limit and are not configured for towing other trailers. Single vehicles that meet or exceed this weight allow a driver to transport large loads, making the Class B license essential for ensuring safety and compliance with state and federal regulations. While combination vehicles and some specialty vehicles like passenger buses might also require different classifications (such as Class A or passenger endorsements), the primary characteristic of Class B is that it specifically pertains to large single vehicles exceeding that weight threshold. Therefore, ensuring a driver holds a Class B CDL is critical for operating heavy vehicles safely on the road.
