So I finally heard from a DOT officer last night who is a friend of a friend. He stated that if the truck and trailer combination weight does not exceed 26001 no matter what the gvw on the trailer is a class c is sufficient. A class A is needed if the GCVW is over 26001 and the trailer is over #10001. A truck that is under #26001 and tows a trailer under #10001 still does not need a CdL. The key is the trailer! If the trailer is over #10001 than combination weight comes in play. If the trailer is under #10001 trailer is irrelevant. I think the law needs to be rewritten so it's not so confusing.
