Answer 1

CDL license

Answer 2

He will need a Class B CDL at the minimum to be on the safe side.  For the dump truck, you are probably thinking of the required DOT inspection (which can be done by a shop that specializes in heavy duty vehicles & done every yr. @the minimum).  The sticker is an IFTA (International Fuel Tax Agreement) sticker, which tells authorities that he is paying his share of highway taxes.  He will have to have insurance, proper permits, base plated, etc., so he isn't taken to the cleaners, if he is stopped by authorities or if he is involved in some sort of claim, whether accident, cargo damage, etc.  Hope I helped!! Good luck!

Answer 3

If you live in a state that requires a annual vehicle inspection then what you most likely will need is a commercial vehicle inspection sticker.....
