CDL Certification Guide
What is CDL?
A CDL or commercial driver's license is required to operate large vehicles intended for use by a company or an organization. Because operating large commercial vehicles requires more specific skills than driving a small personal car, a specialized license indicates that you have completed the proper training to be safe and efficient.
If you are interested in becoming a truck driver, or a school bus driver or operating other large vehicles for your career, you will likely need to obtain a CDL before you are qualified to get the job.
Types of commercial driver's licenses
There are three main CDI, classifications: Class A. Class B and Class C. The classification for your CDL will be dependent upon factors such as the vehicle's weight, purpose and skills required to properly operate it.
Jobs that typically require a CDL
Jobs that involve transporting people, materials and products are crucial to maintain a healthy economy. If you have strong driving skills and the desire to be behind the wheel instead of behind a desk, a driving job might be a good fit for you.
