    To answer your question - it will depend on the truck itself whether you'll need a CDL. I think you could get up to a 4500 size without one so you wouldn't need one for the C30. But if all you intend to use it for is scrapping vehicles, I'd suggest a tilt trailer with a winch. Cheaper to purchase, license, maintain and more flexible for using.

    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.

    Thanks for the reply! I was thinking of that, but my daily driver, a 2003 f150 with a v6 just won't handle a trailer that well sadly.
