You will need to submit proof that you are medically fit/qualified (usually a DOT physical). Be prepared to prove that you meet the residency requirements. Last but not least be prepared to pay all associated fees. (Hopefully you carefully studied your state’s manual as all this is spelled out in detail.)

Step 2: The Commercial Driver’s License (CDL)
Typically companies (and some states) require the completion of officially recognized CDL training prior to testing. Most places also require you to maintain your CPL for a minimum of 14 days before taking the actual skills test.
These tests are broken up into 3 parts:
- The Vehicle Inspection Test,
- The Basic Controls Test and
- The Road Test.
You must pass all three! However, some states do allow you to use their supplied training aids to assist. Success is based off of your knowledge and abilities.

Step 3: Get your CDL (Congratulations)
After successful completion and passing of the skills test, it is your responsibility to take all the appropriate documentation in for processing. Pay all applicable fees, as appropriate. Sometimes the licensing centers will issue the CDL right there; others send it in the mail. Double check to make sure all the information is correct.
