What are the requirements for obtaining a commercial driver's license?

To obtain a commercial driver's license (CDL) in Connecticut, you must meet certain requirements. Firstly, you must be at least 18 years old to apply for an intrastate CDL or 21 years old to apply for an interstate CDL. You must have a valid Connecticut non-commercial driver's license and pass a vision test. Additionally, you need to provide proof of your legal presence in the United States. To progress further, you must qualify for the specific CDL class you desire by meeting certain medical and physical standards.
