New SCDMV websiteLarge Vehicle Driver's License Test
A Class E license is required to drive non-commercial single unit vehicles with a gross vehicle weight (GVW) more than 26,000 pounds. Examples of Class E vehicles include trucks and motor homes (recreational vehicles/RVs). A Class F license is required to drive non-commercial combination vehicles with a GVW more than 26,000 pounds. Class F vehicles are the same as Class E vehicles plus a towed trailer or vehicle.
You cannot drive this type of vehicle with a regular, Class D driver's license.
If you're applying for a Class E or F driver's license, you must take a road test at a designated SCDMV branch, bringing a vehicle of that class for the test. You must make an appointment.
