Only a commercial drivers license requires the use if the parking brake. Mostly because you cant leave a diesel engine in gear on a manual tranny and the brake locks it down. For the auto tranny there is no park on a large truck. The tranny is set to neutral and the brake applied. It is also usually air brakes.

Getting a CDL is quite a bit more involved than the regular class C license. For the Class B CDL the parallel parking of a 38' truck getting the rear bumper within 6" of the rear mark is one of the tougher tasks.
