No... I doubt you will get a Class A/1 licence with a 1 ton. I know a guy here that got hasseled on that about 10 years ago at the scales. He was running a 3/4 ton with a gooseneck trailer. We have a 4500 KG (10000 #) limit on trailers before they want you to have a class A/1 (we call it a class 1). He got to the point of taking the road test (had written he knowledge parts).
