Information About

Commercial Driver's License




A CDL is required for drivers of intrastate commerce (commerce completely within one state) and interstate commerce (commerce crossing a state line) and is accepted anywhere in North America. A driver may only have one CDL issued by one state. Although federal guidelines establish common regulations to achieve uniformity throughout the country, individual states determine license fees, renewal cycles, procedures, and continue to decide the age, medical, and other driver qualifications of intrastate commercial drivers. Thus, the criteria for such licenses may vary from state to state.
