Where’d ya go? Or did you just learn from books from a store?

It’s my understanding to tow a trailer over 10001lbs you need a CDL A.  
Even though I’ll only be at ~25000 GVWR between the trailer (14k trailer, 11k truck)

Even if I don’t need it, I’d still like to get one.

I got my class B from work for free, but you can get your book and stuff from the dmv and take the test on your own to get your permit. If you dont work for the city you will need a physical from your doctor when you go to take your permit test.
