At what weight should vehicles not exceed to be eligible for a Class B Exempt License?

Class B Exempt is for operating single vehicles with a gross vehicle weight rating up to a certain limit, specifically 26,000 pounds or less. The important point is that if the vehicle’s GVWR can be up to 26,000 pounds when loaded, you’re still within the exemption and don’t need a full CDL. If the weight could exceed 26,000 pounds, CDL requirements kick in. So the maximum weight that still qualifies for the exemption is 26,000 pounds. Heavier vehicles would require a CDL. (GVWR means the manufacturer’s maximum safe loaded weight of the vehicle, including cargo and passengers.)
