The Class A Commercial License

In the United States, most drivers of large commercial vehicles (such as semi trucks) are required to carry Class A commercial driver’s licenses. These licenses apply to drivers of any vehicle that has a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (which measures mass of a road vehicle) over 26,000 pounds – an equivalent of 13 tons.

In addition to the Class A license, drivers may need to secure endorsements for their vehicles, depending on the nature of the cargo. For example, an H endorsement is for hazardous materials, while an S applies to school buses.
