The next steps:
- Take the test and get a Commercial Learner’s Permit (CLP);
- Maintain this for at least 14 days;
- Take the skills test, the road test…
The CDL test has three sections that must be completed and passed:
- Vehicle inspection;
- Basic controls exam;
- Road test.
Keep in mind if… you want additional endorsements, such as HAZ-mat, you’ll need to apply and take the appropriate test. You have some requirement to get the CLP, they are:
- Submit all required documentation and identity/citizenship related documents;
- Your current state issued driver’s license;
- A record of your driving history for the past 10 years;
- Medical form, DOT physical as performed by a DOT approved physician;
- Have a passing score on all skill related tests (passing score of 80%);
- And of course you must pay all the associated fees.
