    It depends on the state, but it usually is. It’s just very high, like a gvwr of 26k lbs.

    Thing is, a CDL covers a bunch of stuff you really don’t need to know for something smaller than that, like air brakes. That said, some kind of graduated licensing is called for, here.

    Motorcycles, too, while we’re at it. It’s insane that you can go through MSF and then immediately buy a literbike.

      In ny US state motorcycles have a special motorcycle license. Maybe that would be a good starting point for a large vehicle permit that is more than a regilar license.
