The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulates the rules and requirements for commercial drivers across the country. Though each state has its own application process, all states must adhere to federal requirements set forth by the FMCSA.

Pass the behind-the-wheel driving test. If you fail the test, you must wait two weeks so that you can practice before you are tested again. You have three chances to pass the driving test within the time your permit is valid. You may drive alone with your provisional license, as long as you are not involved in accidents or have traffic violations. First, unfortunately, one of the biggest pieces of misinformation out about how to get your commercial driver’s license is that you must go to truck driving school. We’ve even seen it printed on the website for a large national trucking firm. A Driving School License is required of any person, firm, association or corporation engaged in the business of giving instruction in the operation of motor vehicles or motorcycles for hire. The process of opening a driving school involves several steps. These steps are also outlined in the form Opening a Driving School (MV-299.2).To open a driving school, you will need. Requirements and forms for driving schools and instructors Driving school A driving school is a commercial business authorized by DMV’s Bureau of Driver Training Programs to provide driving instruction for hire, which could include behind-the-wheel driving lessons. DUI programs are required to provide education, psycho-social evaluation and treatment referral services to DUI offenders to satisfy judicial and driver licensing requirements. If you or a loved one has received a DUI, knowing your options and your responsibilities is crucial.

Below you'll find the basic federal requirements needed to obtain a CDL license. If you're looking for state-specific information, find your state's commercial driver license guide.

CDL Eligibility Requirements

To be eligible to apply for a commercial driver license, federal rules state that you must:

• Must be 21 years old to:
  • Drive across state lines.
    OR
  • Operate a vehicle containing hazardous materials.
• Have no prior disqualifying criminal offenses.
  • Certain criminal felonies may disqualify you from CDL eligibility.

Federal CDL Application Requirements

The basic steps required by every state in accordance with FMCSA regulations to receive a commercial learner's permit and a commercial driver's license are as follows:

1. Test for and obtain a commercial learner's permit (CLP).
2. Hold your CLP for a minimum of 14 days.
3. Take the road skills test for your commercial driver's license (CDL).

If you are applying for any endorsements on your CDL, you may have additional knowledge and road skills exams.

Commercial Learner's Permit

In addition to any state-specific forms, tests, and identity/citizenship documents, the FMCSA requires all CLP applicants to provide:

• Your current driver's license.
• A 10 Year Driver History.
  • Your state may check this electronically in their system, or require you to bring in a copy of your driving record. Contact your licensing office for details.
• A Medical Examination self-certification form.
  • This documentation is needed to certify from a qualifying medical examiner that you will be physically able to operate a commercial vehicle.
  • For details on how to self-certify, visit the FMCSA's Self-Certification FAQs.

In addition, you will need to:

• Pass a knowledge and skills test.
  • Tests may vary slightly according to state. However, minimum federal requirements require:
    • A minimum of 30 questions.
    • A passing score of at least 80%.
• Pay the associated fees.
  • These will vary according to your state.

Again, the application process, additional forms, fees, identity documents, and other requirements are at the discretion of your state. Please contact your local commercial driver licensing office for specifics on what your state requires, or visit our state-specific CDL guides.

You're required to hold your CLP for at least 14 days before applying for your full commercial driver's license, as per federal guidelines. Your state may require you to hold it for longer.

Commercial Driver's License

Once you've satisfied the requirements above and practiced on the road with a driver possessing a CDL license, you may then apply for a CDL.

Federal regulations states that you must:

• Hold your commercial learner's permit for at least 14 days.
• Provide a vehicle for your skills test of the same type that you plan to test for and drive once licensed.
• Pass the CDL skills test, which consists of 3 parts:
  • Vehicle inspection.
  • Basic controls exam.

Some states may require additional steps, such as the completion of a CDL training course.

CDL Endorsements & Waivers

If you plan to add an endorsement to your CDL, additional testing, applications, and security checks may be needed. Examples of endorsements include:

• Tank vehicles.
• Passenger vehicles or school buses.
• Carrying hazardous materials.

If you are a military veteran with experience driving military vehicles, you may be eligible to have your CDL skills test waived. For more information, visit our Veterans CDL Skills Test Waiver page.

Other industries that states have the right to waive some of the CDL requirements for include:

• Farming.
• Emergency medical.
• Firefighters.
• Workers removing snow and ice.

Contact your local commercial driver licensing office for details if you work in any of these industries.

How to apply for a Texas Driver License as a Teen

This page will provide you, as a teen, with information on:

• Applying for your first driver license
• Transferring your out-of-state driver license to Texas
• Applying for your motorcycle license

One of the more important decisions you and your parents or legal guardian can make is deciding when you should apply for your first driver license. There are many laws specific to teen drivers that you are required to follow when applying for and holding a driver license. These laws do not exist to make the process difficult, but are designed to educate you about the rules of the road and ensure you practice safe driving habits before being allowed to graduate to the next step. These graduated steps provide you, as a new driver, the chance to improve your driving skills over time in lower-risk environments.

If you are under 18 years of age, one of the first requirements is completion of a driver education course. You can begin the classroom phase of a driver education course at 14 years of age, but you cannot apply for a learner license until you are at least 15 years of age. There are three types of driver education you can select from when taking this course:

1. A traditional driver education course offered by a certified driver training school
2. Parent-taught driver education (PTDE)
3. Driver education offered in public school

To select one of the options and get started on your driver education course, visit Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) Driver Education and Safety for more information.

Driver Licensing

There are two phases of licensing for all teens before graduating to a full driver license. This is called the Graduated Driver License Program.

• This entry-level restricted driver license allows you to practice driving with a licensed adult before you graduate to the next level.
• You must be between 15 and 17 years of age.
• You must have completed the first six hours of the driver education classroom instruction if you are using the concurrent method or all 32 hours of classroom instruction if you are using the block method.
