MEET the MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS:
Before you attend school or earn your CDL, you'll need to
meet several basic physical and legal qualifications:
- In most states, you must be at least 21 years old. You must also be legally eligible to work within the country and within the state.
- You'll need to have a clean driving record. Schools and employers may overlook minor traffic violations, like parking tickets, but you probably won't qualify if you've been busted for reckless driving or if you've been convicted for DUI.
- Many schools also want you to have a diploma or GED before applying, and some truck driving companies won't hire you without one.
- Knowledge tests are only available in English and Spanish. Applicants must be able to understand road signs written in English to pass the test(s).
- The CDL skills test is for testing you on basic vehicle control, driving and vehicle handling on the road and vehicle inspections. Once you obtain your TEXAS CDL License, it is good anywhere in the United States. If you obtain your TEXAS CDL, be careful when driving, especially if you've taken medication or have been drinking alcoholic beverages. If you are busted with DUI, then you run the risk of losing your TEXAS CDL License. You cannot apply for another CDL license in another state after having your TEXAS CDL License revoked or suspended.
ENDORSEMENTS and RESTRICTIONS:
Drivers who operate special types of CMVs also need to pass additional tests to obtain any of the following endorsements
on their CDL:
- T - Double/Triple Trailers (Knowledge test only)
- P - Passenger (Knowledge and Skills Tests)
- N - Tank Vehicle (Knowledge Test only)
- H - Hazardous Materials (Knowledge Test and TSA Threat Assessment)
- X - Combination of Tank Vehicle and Hazardous Materials
- S - School Bus (Knowledge and Skills Tests)

A lawful permanent resident of the United States requesting a hazardous materials endorsement must additionally provide his or her Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services (BCIS) Alien registration number.
- The requirements for training are set and mandated by each state.
- Remember, that an accredited school is going to cost more than simply a Training Facility. In most cases, you can expect to spend anywhere from $3,000 all the way up to $10,000 in order to obtain your CDL training and license.

CERTIFICATION and RECORD CHECK:
- When an individual applies for a CDL, or attempts to renew or update his or her CDL, the State must perform a check of its own database, the C D L Information System (CDLIS), and the National Driver Register (NDR), to ensure the driver is not disqualified and does not possess a license from more than one jurisdiction. If the driver possesses a license from another jurisdiction, the State must require the driver applicant to surrender his/her driver's license issued by that State before issuing a new license. The State must request the complete driving record of the applicant from all jurisdictions where the driver was previously licensed in the past 10 years. If a State determines, in its check of record prior to issuing a CDL, or at any time after the CDL is issued, that the applicant has falsified information, the State shall at a minimum suspend, cancel, or revoke the person’s CDL or his/her pending application, or disqualify the person from operating a CMVs for a period of at least 60 consecutive days.
Medical requirements for CDL?
A CDL, or commercial driver's license, has stricter medical requirements than a standard driver's license, such as the absence of high blood pressure or uncontrolled diabetes. Medical requirements vary by state. A CDL allows a driver to operate larger vehicles that are more difficult to control, such as tractor trailers.
For example, a CDL applicant must have 20/40 vision in both eyes independently and combined, as well as the ability to distinguish color. This is because CDL owners require enough visual acuity to read road signs and traffic lights. Blood pressure cannot be above 160/100, and there cannot be any recent history of epileptic seizures or other disorders that jeopardize the driver's ability to control the vehicle. Diabetes, if present, needs to be controlled with medicine or dietary restrictions. If an applicant has a history of cardiac problems, a doctor has to endorse his or her ability to drive safely, and the applicant has to take a stress test.
CDL PHYSICAL :
Before applying for a CDL, the driver has to take a physical exam at a predetermined location to qualify. This exam is repeated at regular intervals, and may be administered earlier if medical issues arise that could cause problems.
