In particular, the CDL test has two sections:

First, a general knowledge section consisting of 5 exams.
Second, a road test

Today, the Texas DMV DPS test has become rigorous and comprehensive, including specific answers on safety, knowledge, and driving topics. However, our instructors are highly qualified to train you and provide you with the required information.

For one thing, you must be 21 years old except 18 years old when all commercial driving takes place within Texas and does not transport hazardous materials that require placards. Or, don’t drive double or triple trailers.
On the other hand, you must be physically capable. According to MCSR 49 CFR 391.41 regulations, you must obtain a valid card from a DOT medical examiner (before you want to obtain a CDL permit or taking any CDL skills test) – behind the wheel practice.
Finally, if not, you must qualify for the license basing on your driving record.

Additionally, any of the following will disqualify you from obtaining a Texas CDL:

• First, when you have a license from any state other than Texas.
• Second, you currently have some disqualification of your Texas or any other state commercial driving privilege.
• Third, your license was suspended, revoked, denied, or canceled.
• Fourth, you have a conviction for operating a commercial motor vehicle while drunk in the 24 months immediately preceding the request.
• Finally, other technical rules and additional restrictions pertain only to Texas.

• It is a law passed by the United States Congress that requires ALL individual states to meet certain standards regarding the licensing of drivers of commercial motor vehicles (CMV).

  In this case, Texas driver’s license standards comply with the law, requiring CMV drivers to obtain a Texas Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) when driving applicable trucks and buses. Although, you can issue your CDL license in your STATE OF LEGAL RESIDENCE, and if you have a CDL license, you cannot have ANY OTHER DRIVER’S LICENSE in ANY other state.

• Mainly, you will need a Texas commercial driver’s license if you operate any of the following CMVs:

  1. A vehicle with a manufacturer’s gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of more than 26,000 pounds.
  2. A vehicle towing a unit with a manufacturer’s GVWR of more than 10,000 pounds. When the GCWR exceeds 26,000 pounds.
  3. A vehicle used for:

  • Carries 15 or more passengers (excluding the driver)
  • Take 15 or fewer people (including the driver) when you take children to or from school and home regularly to get compensation

  4. A vehicle that transports hazardous materials in quantities that require placards.

2. You must take and pass all Texas examinations that apply to your license class and endorsement requirements.
3. Show proof of social security number.
4. Meet Texas driver record eligibility requirements as determined by the State.
5. Fill out an application including certifications.
6. Provide a DOT medical certificate and pass the required CDL knowledge and vision tests (BEFORE a CDL Temporary Instruction Permit will be issued).
7. Pay the Texas CDL fees.
8. Schedule, take, and pass your Texas CDL skills test.

Too, we include in the Texas CDL Course a separate booklet package which covers information such as fees, locations, contacts, procedures and other items specific to Texas for the written and skills examinations for ALL classes of CDL and ALL available endorsements.

A “skills” test is the practical part of the exam. Therefore, it includes:

1. A vehicle inspection test to measure your ability to perform a vehicle safety check.
2. A test of basic control skills.
3. A driving test.

Generally, the skills test is done at an approved third-party testing site in your area. But, this can vary and the latest procedures are outlined in the Texas CDL course.

Indeed, there are MANY reasons. For example, inappropriate use of alcohol or drugs, traffic violations, and underreporting top the list. For this reason, the course details ALL the rules regarding suspension or revocation. Most importantly, the use of alcohol or drugs is not tolerated and your history WILL FOLLOW YOU THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES FOREVER !!!

So let’s say my Texas CDL is revoked. Can’t I apply for a commercial driver’s license in another state?

Not!!! Those days are gone.

1. Active Duty Military… with military licenses operating military vehicles.
2. Firefighters… meeting approved training standards and operating authorized emergency vehicles.
3. Farmers… in certain cases.
4. Individuals… operating motor homes or other vehicles used exclusively to transport personal possessions or family members, for non business purposes.
