    Correct Sir.. make a discrete call the to scale shack he/she will set you straight of the law for your State. No big deal to upgrade your license.

    My computer has screwed me out of posting this twice now, so 3rd times a charm, short sweet & to the point.

    I am a Colorado class A driver. As long as your vehicle does not have air brakes, your trailer does not have 3 or more axles, and your gvw is under 26,000, you do not need a cdl in CO. Additionally, if any truck, up to and including tractor/trailer is farm plated, you do not need a cdl to drive it within CO and within 100 miles of it's registered address.

    The rest of the infoI tried posting was useful, but less relevant.
