Class C Commercial Driver's License
The class C commercial driving license (CDL), which is also known as a trucker's license, offers a wide range of vehicles. This is one of the most flexible CDLs. It can be used for everything from recreational vehicles and buses to passenger vehicles, and even hazardous transportation vehicles.
With a class C license, you can operate straight trucks, box trucks, dump trucks and buses designed to carry 16 or more people, including the driver.
Passenger Vehicles
New York drivers can choose from a wide range of classes. These classes are designed to suit different driving styles and vehicle types. Understanding the different classes is crucial, no matter if you're looking to drive down Broadway in your parents' 1986 Toyota Corolla, or pilot a truck through the Adirondacks.
For those seeking to drive passenger vehicles such as station wagons and sedans the non-CDL class C license is the best option. This license allows you to drive a single car with a maximum GVWR of 26,001 pounds. You can also tow vehicles that have the maximum trailer weight of up to 10,000 pounds. Drivers can add endorsements on their class C license to gain increased possibilities for employment. These endorsements include passengers (P) tanks (T) and hazardous materials (H). These endorsements are typically obtained by passing additional knowledge tests and specialized test of skills.
Passenger vehicles in the class C non-CDL license are restricted to carrying up to 16 passengers, including the driver. Drivers are also required to limit the number of underage passengers they transport to one, unless those being transported are immediate family members or are over 18. Teen drivers under the age of 18 who are licensed with a class C license must have a parent or guardian in the vehicle at all times.
To obtain a class C non-CDL driver's license, you must be 18 years old and pass a medical examination to be eligible to drive. In addition you must meet federal requirements to drive on interstates or for hazardous materials transport.
A class M license is available to those who want to drive motorcycles or mopeds. This is only for drivers who are junior, and it is only valid in New York. Drivers with a class M driver's license can only operate motorbikes and other two-wheeled motorized vehicles. New York teens must complete a training course and log hours of practice before they can obtain their class M driver's license. Teen licenses also have limitations like not being able transport anyone younger than 21 and not driving between 11 p.m. and 6 a.m.
Combination Vehicles
If your job requires you to operate a combination vehicle Class C is the right license for you. It allows you to operate vehicles that have a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of 26,001 pounds or more, with trailer(s) that weigh 10,000 pounds or less. This includes passenger vans, small hazmat vehicles and certain delivery trucks. It also allows you to drive a school bus in the event that you possess the required endorsements and pass the medical and background checks required for that kind of vehicle.
A number of states have additional rules and regulations applicable to drivers with this license class, such as a requirement that you keep the log book that details the number of hours you've driven and the kind of cargo you're transporting. Failure to maintain this log book may result in fines or even the suspension of your CDL. In some cases you might need to obtain oversized load permits in the event that your cargo exceeds certain limits.
You must be at least 18 years old to get a Class C license. To move up to a higher-level CDL, you must pass the knowledge and skills tests for that category, and finish any required training or work-related experience. You must also be 21 to operate a vehicle across state lines, and to transport hazardous materials.
You must pass a medical exam and undergo a background examination that includes a criminal background check, to qualify for the Class C license. You must also pass a drug test. Certain states require that you complete driver's training classes or take part in trucking safety courses before you can be issued a CDL.
In addition to these requirements, there are additional restrictions you must satisfy to operate a commercial vehicle with an CC license. Some restrictions are based on age and others are based upon the type of vehicle you're driving or the passengers you're transporting. For instance, some states do not permit you to carry non-family passengers younger than 21 years old while others limit the number of non-family passengers to the maximum of one.
Some endorsements you can add to your class C license include the P-passenger endorsement, the double or triple trailer endorsement for California and the H-hazardous material endorsement. These endorsements are typically added after passing a knowledge test and occasionally a skills test.
Towing Vehicles

This includes single and double-trailer trucks with a an maximum authorised weight (MAM) of up to 8,250kg.

They can also operate buses that hold more than 16 passengers for hire, as well as vehicles that transport hazardous materials if they have the proper endorsements.
Tow truck operators are a different group of drivers who need a category C licence. They typically use tow trucks with an GVWR that is less than 26,001 pounds. They can tow other vehicles if the vehicle to be towed has a GVWR that is less than or equal to that of the tow truck.
If the tow vehicle has a greater than 26,001 pounds of GVWR or the driver is planning to transport hazardous materials or passengers, they'll require an upper level CDL. There are two levels of operator licenses for tow trucks that are level 1 and level 2. Level 2 certification involves at the minimum of one year of experience as a tow truck driver and level 2 certification has to be obtained to be allowed to operate tow trucks that are greater than 10,000 pounds GVWR when they are not carrying or towing passengers in exchange for compensation.

Hazardous Materials
A Class C commercial driver's license is required if you want to operate any vehicle that is designed to transport 16 or more passengers including the driver. This also includes vehicles that transport hazardous materials or HazMat. This category includes trucks with rated tank, as well as passenger vans and smaller HAZMAT vehicles. The holders of a class C CDL must have an endorsement for tanks and may be required to pass the hazard material test.
A hazard material is any chemical, gas, explosive or other substance that is classified as a dangerous substance in 49 CFR Part 172. It is defined as any substance that poses a significant threat of serious injury, death or property damage that is severe or a significant threat to the safety, health or well-being of people or the environment. It is transported by an alternative vehicle to an airplane, rail vehicle or vessel. Any department, agency or instrumentality of the United States or a State that transports hazardous materials is considered a carrier.
