Commercial Driver's License (CDL)
A Commercial Driver's License (CDL) is a special license required to operate large or heavy vehicles, such as trucks and buses. It ensures that drivers have the necessary skills and knowledge to safely handle these vehicles on public roads. There are different classes of CDLs, each allowing the operation of specific types of vehicles.
To obtain a CDL, applicants must pass both written and driving tests. The requirements may vary by state, but generally include a minimum age, a medical examination, and a clean driving record. This license is essential for those pursuing a career in commercial driving.
