I am hearing that you do have to go to a 6 week class, and then other people are saying that you do not have to go to a class. Then there is another group that says you can do it online. Yet another group says you can do the "theory" part of the course you can do online, but the driving part you obviously have to do in person. I have tried contacting these schools and can't get anyone to answer the dang phone to provide some guidance. They changed the requirements a few months ago. All classes require an in person class now. There are parts you can do online though. My buddy just went through the one at Bishop State and he couldn’t get them to answer the phone when he was a student.

Anything over 26,000 lbs requires a CDL. If the truck and trailer combined GVW is greater than 26,000 lbs, technically it requires a CDL, commercial or not. If it's over 26,000 lbs and you are paid to haul it/drive it, it requires a CDL is how I understand it. Also if it has air brakes
Two roads diverged in the woods and I took the one with deep ruts,hills and mud.It may be bumpy but WHAT A RIDE!

Pretty sure anything over 26,000 gwr is required a cdl license. No matter what kind of brakes. I grandfathered mine in the 90s. Only took written test for general knowledge,air brakes an combination for class A. Easy test if u study. If u want the hazmat endorsement it’s another test . It’s very hard.driving test is easy if u have any experience. You have to do a pre trip inspection an name off 100 point of inspection but most that common sense things like brakes, tires,hoses an fluid levels. I do know u can get cdl just for automatic trucks nowadays because I got friends that work for UPS that does that. Everyone with a cdl is required to keep a DOT health card. Have do it every 2 years an every year if u have high blood pressure like myself. An you better have it under 140/80 the day of physical or won t get it. The physical is getting harder to pass every year. All i drive is service truck an haul fuel but I keep my cdl just in case I need them to move equipment. I’m guessing class B would pertain to dump trucks or school bus type vehicles. I have co worker that live in tn that was required to do the 6 week school for class A. Cost 6k. They furnished everything included truck for driving test. Not sure about al. Like someone said there is a lot new laws in effect now that has to do with testing. Most all our drivers has been driving for years. I do know there is a shortage of drivers in this country an there is some really good paying jobs for Drivers

You dont have to have a medical card if you work for non profits, municipalities, churches..water..local govt..coops..utility boards..thats in alabama..if you work for yourself or pretty much anything in the private sector contract wise..you do. I started as a contractor so i had to have mine..an i work for a utility now ..no longer required to have it, but i keep if renewed in case i need to make extra money..you can got to the dmv and have it switched back and forth….it will cost you the price of a liscense ever time.. im not sure how requiring a class will help..thats pretty stupid in my oppinion..on a good day the liscense an test cost at least $350-400..an thats if you have a free truck to drive…if you dont..its $700-1000 all day long. This past time i took it, it cost me a little over $400..the first time i tested in georgia…i payed $800 with a week to practice..every class ive ever seen..like $2000..ive seen some that were less..some that were more..if it is a 6 week class now..its gonna cost you.
