CDL Classification Codes.
Prepare for the Class C Written Tests
Class C CDL (Commercial Drivers License) Requirements
Any single vehicle, or combination of vehicles, that does not meet the definition
of Class A or Class B, but is either designed to transport 16 or more passengers,
including the driver, or is transporting material that has been designated
as hazardous under 49 U.S.C. 5103 and is required to be placarded under subpart
F of 49 CFR Part 172 or is transporting any quantity of a material listed
as a select agent or toxin in 42 CFR Part 73. This also includes vehicles
with a tank exceeding 1000 gallons even when the GWVR does not exceed 26,000
pounds.
Employers may require their drivers to possess a Class C CDL as a condition of employment even when not required by statute. This is often due to their insurance carriers requiring this to ensure proper training leading to greater safety and fewer claims.
