Practice question

Which of the following is NOT a type of vehicle that can be operated with a Class B CDL?

  1. School bus
  2. Large passenger van
  3. Motorhome over 26,000 pounds
  4. Light duty pickup truck

Answer: D — Light duty pickup truck

A Class B Commercial Driver's License (CDL) allows the holder to operate certain types of commercial vehicles that meet specific weight and passenger capacity criteria. School buses and large passenger vans, especially those that transport more than a certain number of passengers, fall under the eligibility requirements for a Class B license. Additionally, a motorhome that exceeds 26,000 pounds is also classified under vehicles that require a Class B CDL for operation due to its size and weight. In contrast, a light-duty pickup truck does not meet the weight or capacity thresholds that necessitate a Class B CDL. These vehicles tend to be under the 26,000-pound limit and are commonly used for personal or light commercial purposes, meaning they can be operated with a regular driver's license rather than a commercial one.
