Minnesota Permit Practice Test

A Class D license holder in Minnesota is permitted to operate vehicles that weigh under 26,000 pounds. This includes standard personal vehicles, small trucks, and vans that fall below this weight threshold. The Class D license is designed for non-commercial drivers and is the most common type of driver’s license issued in Minnesota, allowing individuals the flexibility to operate typical passenger vehicles used for personal transportation. Operating vehicles over 26,000 pounds or any type of commercial vehicle requires a different class of license, such as a Class B or Class A commercial driver’s license. Additionally, the notion of restricting Class D holders to only electric vehicles is inaccurate, as their licensing does not limit them to such types. Therefore, the allowance for vehicles weighing under 26,000 pounds highlights the primary function of a Class D license, which caters to general driving needs without commercial requirements.
