Although each state must follow MINIMUM federal guidelines; they are free to make the requirements MORE stringent. They may add to, but not take away from. I am fairly sure most every state will require at LEAST 1 year of holding a valid class C/D license before allowing application for a CLP (commercial learners permit).

Before getting their CDL, commercial drivers will receive their commercial learner's permit (CLP) upon passing the written portion of the CDL exam. They will not have to retake the written exam to get their CDL.
