b) Class B
c) Class C
d) Class D

Answer 1

To drive a vehicle with a GVWR of 26,001 pounds or more, a Class A commercial driver's license is required.

Step-by-step explanation:

To drive a vehicle with a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of 26,001 pounds or more, you would need to have a Class A commercial driver's license (CDL). A Class A license will allow you to operate any combination of vehicles with a combined GVWR of 26,001 pounds or more, given that the GVWR of the vehicle(s) being towed is in excess of 10,000 pounds. If the vehicle you wish to drive does not tow more than 10,000 pounds, a Class B CDL may suffice for vehicles with a GVWR of 26,001 pounds or more, but not combined with a trailer above that weight limit.
