A Class B Commercial Drivers License (CDL) allows you to drive vehicles that are heavier and larger than standard automobiles. With a Class B CDL, you can drive a single vehicle with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of more than 26,000 pounds, a 3-axle vehicle weighing over 6,000 pounds, or a bus (except a trailer bus) . You can also operate straight trucks, trucks where all axles are mounted on the frame, such as dump trucks and tow trucks, and other vehicles endorsed for Class B or Class C. Some examples of vehicles in the Class B CDL category include straight trucks, buses, box trucks, and dump trucks with small trailers. Unlike with Class A CDLs, drivers with Class B CDLs are only allowed to drive within the state that issued the license.

To summarize, with a Class B CDL, you can drive the following types of vehicles:

• Single vehicles with a GVWR of more than 26,000 pounds
• 3-axle vehicles weighing over 6,000 pounds
• Buses (except a trailer bus)
• Straight trucks
• Trucks where all axles are mounted on the frame, such as dump trucks and tow trucks
• Other vehicles endorsed for Class B or Class C

Its important to note that the specific requirements for a Class B CDL may vary by state.
