"Recent CDL changes"
Explain please. What has been changed recently?
The 26000 gvw rule has been around at least 10 years, probably 20, maybe more.
I recall a rule change some ten or more years ago, and some companies downsized their vehicles used. I don't recall the specifics...
Making Sense of Truck Classification

Class 6—With GVWRs between 19,501 and 26,000, this class covers medium-duty commercial trucks. It’s the category for single-axle and beverage trucks, along with rack trucks. School buses are also in Class 6. What’s more, this is the class where the need for Commercial Driver’s Licenses starts. The requirement depends on the individual vehicle weight. Driving vehicles weighing more than 26,000 requires a CDL. It applies to combined weight, too, like if you’re towing trailers or other vehicles that weigh more than 10,000 pounds.
