What types of licenses do you need to drive an RV, a large truck, or a motorcycle? In the US, there are many different types of driver’s licenses<\/a>, each required for different classes of vehicles. Whether you are a recreational vehicle owner or a commercial fleet manager, it’s important to understand the types of licenses and how they might relate to the vehicles you plan to drive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you plan to drive your personal car, a truck, or a business vehicle, you’ll need to be in possession of a Class D license. However, particularly large, heavy, or difficult-to-drive vehicles may require additional licensure to operate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

License Rules Vary by State<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As we go into the general categories of different types of licenses, it’s also important to remember that license laws can vary by state. Before making your plans, be sure to read up on local laws in your state and in each state you will travel through. Research the type of license you will need based on a vehicle’s size, weight, and combined towing weight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can usually find specific information regarding types of licenses on the DMV website for each state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Standard Driver’s Licenses<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

First, let’s look at residential driver’s licenses. These are licenses necessary to drive cars, trucks, and motorcycles that are typically used by individuals, families, and non-freight businesses. Standard driver’s licenses include Class D, Class M, and Junior DJ and MJ licenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cars and Trucks: Class D License<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Most vehicles require a Class D Driver’s License. This license includes all vehicles that would be classified as “cars,” including sedans, compacts, hatchbacks, etc. Most vehicles classified as “trucks” also fall into this category, including pickup trucks, SUVs, crossovers, and cargo vans. In general, if it fits in a normal parking space, then it likely only requires a standard Class D License.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
