"When do I need a New York CDL?
You need a CDL to drive a commercial motor vehicle (CMV), which is defined as:
* A single vehicle with a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of 26,001 pounds or more
* A trailer with a GVWR of more than 10,000 pounds if the gross combination weight rating is 26,001 pounds or more
* A vehicle designed to transport 16 or more occupants, including the driver, or a vehicle defined as a bus
* Any vehicle that requires hazardous materials placards
You can obtain a Class A, Class B, or Class C commercial license, depending on the type of vehicle you will be driving. If you drive a CMV without a commercial license, you could go to jail or incur a court fine of $5,000."
