What you are hauling has little to do with CDL requirements in reguards to weight. What is important is Gross Vehicle Weight Rating. CDL requirements are based on manufacturer’s Gross Vehicle Ratings of the combined truck and trailer. The overall weight rating may not exceed 26,000 pounds total, and the trailer rating may not exceed 10,000 pounds of the 26,000-pound total.
