That depends on the nature of the vehicle (commercial or personal use) and the Gross Combination Weight Rating of the two vehicles. If it's a commercial use vehicle, and the Gross Vehicle Weight Ratings of the two vehicles combined come out to a Gross Combination Weight Rating in excess of 26,001 lbs. or more (e.g., you have a pickup rated at 15,000 lbs. and a gooseneck trailer rated at 20,000 lbs.), then a CDL will be required.

Do i need a cdl when i drive a one ton pickup and gooseneck trailer?

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.
Can a cdl driver drive a triaxal dump truck with a trailer and small piece of equipment on it?
