Assuming you're referring to a commercial use vehicle, the F550 has a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating under 26,001 lbs. A CDL would not be required unless the vehicle is either transporting a quantity of hazardous materials which requires the display of placards or it is a bus designed to transport more than 15 persons (including the driver). The one exception to this would be the State of New York, which requires persons operating a commercial vehicle with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of more than 18,000 lbs. to possess a CDL (as opposed to the 26,000 maximum non-CDL weight under federal law).
Yes, you would. Without the trailer, you could operate it with either a Class A or Class B CDL.

Which country? In the US, you need a Class A CDL without a "no tractor-trailer" restriction, and without an air brake restriction. In Canada, it's a Class 1 licence. In the United Kingdom, it's an E+C licence. In South Africa, it's an EC licence. In all instances, you're better off to just attend a truck driving school.
Licenses required to drive flatbed trailers vary depending on the size of the trailer. You may not need an additional license.
To obtain a license to drive a flatbed trailer, you will need to pass a CDL test. In preparation for the test, seek out an accredited training program that includes instruction in fundamental knowledge as well as experience in operating vehicles with full loads.
There are a variety of tips in order to avoid tractor trailer accidents. Some of these tips are for the driver not to drive longer than they can physically stand. If they need to take a break, then they should.

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.
