This is not about CDL drivers. That is a whole different animal. This is non-CDL drivers operating a heavy RV and the license requirements are not based on actual scaled weight. They are based on the GVWR or the GCWRs (the ratings posted on the stickers) of the truck and trailer or the motor home. If the gross vehicle weight RATINGS exceed 26,001 lbs you are required to have either a class A non-CDL or class B non-CDL license even if the actual scaled weight is significantly less than 26,000 lbs. No where in the Texas non-CDL licensing requirements does it state actual or scaled weight.
Some other states are similar but others have differing requirements.
