You can run Interstate with Class B. Just as long as the trailer's gross weight is less than, 10,000 lbs.

Yes you can. I even had to carry a logbook, even though I was a 100 air mile driver.

Class B... The best thing I can say about that is what they said to me when I started. "Keep your class A."

Damn straight.

Class B or even Class C have nothing to do with where you can drive only WHAT you can drive.

Class A=any vehicle and trailer except motorcycles

Class B=any single vehicle with or without a trailer under 10,000 pounds GVWR(thats the weight rating not the actual weight of the trailer)except motorcycles

Class C=Any vehicle under 26,001 with or without a trailer under 10,000 pounds GVWR. except motorcycles

And of course you have to have endorsements for..

Hazmat
Doubles and triples
Passenger(more than 17 people including the driver in one vehicle)
School Bus
Tanker
Air Brakes(this is more a restriction than an endorsement)

And of course under 21, don't leave your state.

I know guys who go interstate with 80,000 pounds on a class B all the time. They just happen to have 4 lift axles.

The rule is if you are under 21, you cannot drive a cdl vehicle out of your licensed state, if you are over 21 then you can drive all over the country if you wanted to.

I'm 20, sucks for me :cry:
