A Truck Commercial Drivers License certifies you to drive delivery trucks, cement mixers, utility trucks, garbage trucks, petroleum trucks, and any other vehicle of similar size. With additional certification, the Truck CDL will also qualify you to drive school and passenger buses. Usually a shorter program than a Tractor Trailer CDL, the Truck CDL is great for those who know they want to stay close to home and work regular hours.

Why are there no good videos on getting a trucking license in Arizona? I have not driven a truck in five years. I would just like to sit back, watch and refresh my memory.

We couldn't find any good videos on this subject either. However, for all you ever wanted to know about getting, renewing or keeping an Arizona trucking license, visit the Web site of the Arizona Trucking Association.

I would like to get a license to drive a tow vehicle with GVW of 19,500 lbs, no air brake, plus tow a horse trailer about 20,000 lbs. What's involved?
Submitted on: February 20, 2012

You will need a "class A CDL no air brake" license to drive this combination of vehicles with a GVWR of 26,001 or more pounds provided the GVWR of the vehicle being towed is in excess of 10,000 pounds. You can find more information on licensing and weight regulations here.
