Commercial Driver's License (CDL)

A Commercial Driver's License (CDL) is a special license required in the U.S. for individuals who operate large or heavy vehicles for commercial purposes, like trucks, buses, or trailers. Obtaining a CDL involves passing knowledge and skill tests to ensure drivers are qualified to handle the specific vehicle types and meet safety regulations. There are different classes of CDLs (Class A, B, and C) depending on the weight and type of vehicle being driven. A CDL is crucial for maintaining safety on the roads and is necessary for many transportation-related jobs.
