That depends on the Gross Combination Weight Rating of the two vehicles, and other factors. If the vehicle is being operated on a for-hire basis, and the Gross Combination Weight Rating of truck and trailer is more than 26,000 lbs., then a Class A CDL is required.

Do you need a cdl to drive a one ton pickup and gooseneck trailer?
If the Gross Combination Weight Rating (the combined Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of the truck and of the trailer) is in excess of 26,000 lbs., and the vehicle is of a type which does not fall under an exemption to CDL requirements (emergency vehicle, registered farm vehicle, military vehicle, or recreational vehicle), then yes, you need a CDL.

Do you need a cdl to drive a one ton truck and trailer with car on it?
Let's set the record straight here. A CDL would only be required if the Gross Combined Weight Rating of the truck and trailer together was in excess of 26,000 lbs., and the GVW of the trailer alone exceeds 10,000 lbs. You can drive a 26k Class 6 truck without a CDL... you can tow a trailer up to 10,000 lbs. GVW behind it and still not need a CDL. If it is a commercial vehicle, and you're crossing state lines, however, you will need a DOT medical card. A one ton pickup of current manufacture has a GVW of around 12,000 - 13,000 lbs., and any commercial vehicle operating interstate requires the med card.
