Common Asked Question

What drivers license will you need?   For CDL purposes, the tow truck and its towed vehicle are treated the same as any other powered unit towing a non-powered unit. If the GCWR of the tow truck is 26,001 pounds or more and the towed vehicle alone exceeds 10,000 pounds GVWR, then the driver needs a Class A CDL

In other words: You will need a commercial driver's license, or CDL, if your tow trucks weigh more than 26,000 pounds or if the tow truck and vehicle to be towed have a combined weight over 26,000 pounds -- unless the towed vehicle is no more than 10,000 pounds. So, yes a commercial driver's license (CDL) is necessary to drive a tow truck.
