Which types of vehicles can be operated with a Class B Exempt License?

A Class B Exempt License allows the holder to operate a vehicle with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of 26,001 pounds or more. This license is typically designed for larger vehicles that are used for specific commercial purposes, such as buses or other larger trucks, but it exempts the driver from certain licensing requirements that would otherwise apply to commercial driving.

Vehicles with a GVWR of 26,001 pounds or more are significant in size and weight, necessitating a higher level of training and experience due to their handling characteristics, regulatory requirements, and the potential impact that accidents involving such vehicles could have on public safety. The Class B Exempt License ensures that the driver has received appropriate training to operate these heavier vehicles safely and effectively.

The other options do not meet the criteria set forth for operating with a Class B Exempt License. For instance, vehicles under 26,000 pounds or certain types of recreational vehicles do not fall under the category of vehicles permitted by this license, as they typically do not require the same level of licensing or training for operation.
