What type of CDL license should I get?

Unless you plan to operate a very specific type of vehicle for a long period of time, it is likely in your best interest to obtain a Class A CDL license. This will allow you to operate a vehicle with a gross vehicle weight (GVWR) of 26,000 lbs. and a trailer weighing over 10,00 lbs. Individuals with Class A CDL licenses can also operate vehicles that require a Class B or Class C CDL license. You will also have a much easier time dealing with rules and regulations that are involved with driving interstate if you have a Class A license.

This gives you a large amount of flexibility over the course of your career to take on different jobs or work different assignments at your company. If you want to pursue a Class B CDL license, you should know that you will only be able to operate vehicles within the state of Pennsylvania.
