Will this setup need a CDL?
Pick your truck and a trailer rating. We add them up the way federal rules do, and show what you can haul.

- Payload at this rating
A quick guide based on the federal combination rule (49 CFR 383.91): a Class A CDL applies when the combined GVWR is 26,001 lbs or more and the trailer is rated over 10,000 lbs. Your state, how you use the rig and your authority can change this. Truck weights shown are typical; use your door sticker. Ask us before you buy.
