Actually the mandate is National and has to do with vehicle weight. I think 27,000 is the turn around number which is a 6 wheel bobtail. For a 10 wheel bobtail you are over 27k as are you at full 18 wheel 80,000#.
It's been along time but a Class B CDL will get the 6 wheel but you need a Class A for anything above. State issues license. On the Class A you need to take a driving test.
Other thing is a federal tax number that used to cost $500/year to register the truck. Then there is a requirement for insurance that is also mandated, a minimum allowable. State DOT ought to have all the info.
In short it's expensive and a pain in the ............
Then this year I get a letter from DOT saying that I have to certify that I'm using my CDL on a regular basis. Otherwise they will down grade you to an Operator's permit. Well I'm retired and don't truck any more so I'm going to loose my CDL.
Course if you do drive regularly, now they have a physical testing requirement that you have to meet or loose it. Getting tough but the idea is to keep the roads safe.
The only good news is that a CDL has to be renewed at the local DOT office and the lines are usually around the block. If they down grade you to Operator's and you have a good driving record, they will online renew for 6 years. I can handle that.

It was on one such Saturday in the early 1940's when Sam was 16 years old that he ended up in Dennison, Kansas to watch a demonstration of a new tractor being put on by a local dealer.
