The upgrade of a Class B CDL (Commercial Driver's License) to a Class A CDL must be completed by individuals who drive vehicles such as school buses or passenger buses, rigid trucks, and who wish to operate heavier vehicles, such as tractor-trailers weighing over 26,000 lbs and trailers over 10,000 lbs.
