Permit Prep and CDL Requirements

Before you can begin any BTW (Behind the Wheel) driving of a commercial vehicle, even for practice purposes, you must pass the CLP exam. Once your learner’s permit is issued, you are ready to take the next step. This applies to all commercial vehicles, including semi-trucks, buses or any vehicle over 26,000 pounds.

Each state has individual CDL license requirements, but all states require the following:

  • A valid driver’s license
  • Be at least 18 years of age
  • Pass a physical/medical exam
  • Score a minimum of 80% on your permit test
