What are the requirements for obtaining a commercial driver's license (CDL)?
To obtain a commercial driver's license (CDL) in Utah, certain requirements must be met. First, you must be at least 18 years old for an intrastate CDL or 21 years old for an interstate CDL. Secondly, you should possess a valid Utah driver's license and have a clean driving record. A medical examination by a certified healthcare professional is mandatory, ensuring that you meet the physical and medical standards for operating commercial vehicles. Further, you must pass written knowledge tests on general knowledge, air brakes, and any specific endorsements required for your desired CDL class. Finally, a skills test must be passed, consisting of a pre-trip vehicle inspection, basic vehicle control, and an on-road driving assessment. These requirements ensure that qualified individuals receive a CDL to operate commercial vehicles safely and responsibly.
