CDL requirements are governed by federal law. That aside, it depends on what the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of the vehicle is. The truck may weigh 14,000 lbs. at the moment, but the laden weight it is rated at may be much higher. If it is a commercial use vehicle with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating in excess of 26,000 lbs., a Class B CDL is required. If the vehicle's Gross Vehicle Weight Rating is 14,000 lbs., that's only a Class 3 truck, which falls into the light duty category, and only requires a minimum Class C CDL if it's either transporting hazardous materials which require the display of placards, or else is a bus designed to transport more than 15 passengers (including the driver).

In Louisiana, a Class B license is required for operating a truck with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of 26,001 pounds or more. If the truck you are referring to has a weight rating of 14,000 pounds, it may be okay to operate with a regular driver's license, but it is recommended to check with the Louisiana Office of Motor Vehicles for specific regulations and requirements.
