Topic 20150 | Page 1
Hey guys, I was about to join trucking school & already prepared for cdl permit test. But at the DMV website they say i hv to hv normal driving licence for 2 years, only then i can apply for cdl permit. I m new immigrants in USA. I hv my drving license is only 16 months old. What should i do ??
Thanks
What state? Without knowing much more, wait another 8 months. Apply for your permit in February 2018. If your state DMV requires 2 years, then your choice is to comply with the requirement of your state. Protect that license, stay clean, free of tickets/violations and accidents.
CDL:
Commercial Driver's License (CDL)
A CDL is required to drive any of the following vehicles:
- Any combination of vehicles with a gross combined weight rating (GCWR) of 26,001 or more pounds, providing the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of the vehicle being towed is in excess of 10,000 pounds.
- Any single vehicle with a GVWR of 26,001 or more pounds, or any such vehicle towing another not in excess of 10,000 pounds.
- Any vehicle, regardless of size, designed to transport 16 or more persons, including the driver.
- Any vehicle required by federal regulations to be placarded while transporting hazardous materials.

GREETINGS Yasir,
As a point of reference, I had to wait 7 years from my last D.W.I. conviction (in N.C. on a Class C) in 1991 to apply for a C.D.L.-A permit in 1998, so a few months for you will be no problem. Keep On Keeping On!! CHEERS!!
