This is how the law reads in Iowa. It is the same as the federal law. Makes NO difference if you own the truck, hauling your own stuff, or if you are getting paid to haul for others, or if you are a hired driver. If you are driving a truck that weighs 26,001# or over, you WILL have a CDL. Period.
Class A is for a truck and trailer combination that weighs 26,001 pounds or over.
Class B is for a straight truck that weighs 26,001 pounds or over.
Makes no difference how much the trailer weighs. It is the TOTAL combined weight of the truck/trailer combination unit.
Many highway patrol officers do NOT know how to interpret the law, and WILL give you a wrong answer. D.O.T. officers are slightly more knowledgeable.
