I have never seen a pick up for rent with the 5th wheel hitch from any commercial companies.

Maybe, if they have a medium-duty single-axle tractor without air brakes. Try Ryder and look at the single axle tractors.

No you do not need a CDL (Commercial Drivers License) unless you drive for profit. To my knowledge there is only one pickup truck rental with a fifth wheel hitch, dieselpickuprental.com and it is in Denver, CO.
