Tom, Does California Non commercial B limit you from pulling a
trailer? Commercial class A is a upgrade to pulling a trailer From a
Commercial B. DO you get double the infraction points on a ticket?
Dmv holds Commercial drivers to a higher standard and gives us double
points towards loss of license.

Class A , class A driver too
