What is a Class B CDL?
Class B courses cover operating any vehicle greater than 26,000 pounds, as well as any vehicle towing a trailer that does not exceed 10,000 pounds. You will be able to operate straight trucks, box trucks (like delivery trucks), large buses (such as school buses, city, and tourist buses), and dump trucks with small trailers. You will learn how to drive under a wide variety of traffic, load, road, weather, and geographic conditions and locations.
