Forgive me if I am in error here. My term as an 18-wheeler driver ended long ago. However, if I remember correctly the CDL (Commercial Driver's License) IS a federal license now. As stated before, if one's truck has a GVWR over 26,000 lbs, then a CDL is required.

While it is a Class 4 truck, my Ford F450 only has a GVWR of 14,500, so I do not need a CDL. While states do still have licensing requirements of their own, none are a CDL.
