Best Answer

No. A Class B CDL is required for vehicles with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of more than 26,000 lbs., and which may tow a trailer with a weight rating of up to 10,000 lbs. CDL licences are federally regulated. A chauffeur's licence is available in some states, and may be required for passenger vehicles designed to hold 15 persons or less (including the driver - a vehicle designed to transport more than 15 persons requires a CDL with passenger endorsement), registered farm vehicles (which are exempt from CDL requirements), etc.

No, it is not. In fact, a Chauffeur's License isn't even necessarily the same thing in different states.
