Commercial Driver License

All drivers of Commercial Motor Vehicles (CMV’s) are required to obtain a Commercial Driver License (CDL). In order to get a CDL, you must first take and pass the required knowledge and skills test. The CDL Test consists of a general test, one or more endorsement tests, and an air brakes test. The tests that you will take depend on the license classification that you are obtaining (Class A, B, or C) and the type of vehicle that you will be driving (e.g., Tanker, Double/Triple, Passenger Bus).
