I am planning on becoming a tow truck operator in southern Illinois and besides needing a class c non cdl the insurance also needs for new drivers to have a class a cdl for the air brakes.

i have been web searching and also asking around and so far everything seems to be 50/50 for schooling and no schooling. the trucks that the company i plan to work for are regular f-550s and the biggest being a flatbed f-650.
