Can you bobtail a class 8 tractor with B Commercial Drivers License?
Yes, you can bobtail a class 8 tractor with a B Commercial Driver's License (CDL). A Class B CDL allows you to operate any single vehicle with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of less than 26,001 pounds, as well as any such vehicle towing another vehicle with a GVWR of less than 10,000 pounds. Bobtailing, which refers to operating a tractor unit without a trailer attached, does not exceed the requirements of a Class B CDL. However, please note that specific vehicle weight regulations and endorsements might still apply in certain jurisdictions, so double-checking with your local DMV and ensuring compliance with the weight-specific endorsements on your license is advised to avoid potential legal consequences.
