I assume by that if the trailer weighs 6.5 tons empty then even the 10

If so, that makes the 10 ton FAIRLY "heavy duty" but not by commercial
truck standards, they easily often exceed 100,000 GVW.

That makes for a Class A CDL, which mainly only requires a warm body
(physical every 2 years) and a couple of easy tests, multiple guess and
driving.
