An A or B class will do the trick, Don't forget most carriers require HazMat endorsement and if your C has air brakes, you'll need that endorsement also

You will need a Class B with Haz-Mat for almost any carrier regardless of the size of your truck. Unless it is a tractor trailer then you will need a class A with Haz-Mat. Even a cargo van needs a class B license.

Even a

Lureveto: Gotta veto your last comment. A cargo van with a GVWR under 10,000 Doesn't need a CDL under most circumstances. If a carrier requires you to carry HazMat, you then come under DOT regs and are required to have a HazMat endorsement on a CDL. Class C is all that is required under 10,000.
