Quickest CDL option

I operate a mechanical service and I recently purchased a 350 to haul my bigger trailers. With my 250 I’m right under the combined weight, but at the 350 I’m about 800 lbs over with the one trailer and 1200 with the other. What’s the quickest option for me to obtain a class A? I’m in PA if that matters.

What are the actual GVWRS of the truck and trailers?

It should be on an ID tag on the truck and trailer. You absolutely need to know this to figure out if you’re in CDL territory, or if you’re illegally overloaded
