It doesn't matter how much experience you have overseas. You will need to hold a personal vehicle driver's license in the US for at least one year before you can get a CDL.

Unfortunately it requires more than experience and a safe driving record to reciprocate a CDL from EU countries. Which is a shame because I hear the standards in Germany to get even a regular driver's license are very high.

I'm not familiar with all the requirements it takes to get a U.S. CDL as a CDL holder overseas, but there are members here who can give you more detailed information and offer different options once they see your inquiry.

It may be easier to get a Canadian CDL first and then get your U.S. CDL. Be patient and someone with more knowledge about the process should respond.

I'm surprised and sorry nobody has added more information in response to your inquiry.

There are some older threads where the topic is discussed.

I've seen people here mention this AI thing before. How can you tell? I'm totally clueless. I hate being clueless almost as much as I hate looking foolish.
