The license requirements are based on weight RATNGS, not on scaled actual weights. In those states that require it, if the gross combined weight rating of the truck and trailer exceed 26,001 lbs then the class A non commercial license is required even if the scaled weight is less.
Now, how many people are towing with GCWR numbers higher than 26,001 lbs and should have the class A license but don’t? Probably a pretty high percentage. Most people probably never even know of the requirement. I didn’t for years until reading it on an RV forum and checking the Texas DOT web site. But my GCWR is just under 26,000 lbs and class A is not required.
