Commercial Driver's License Document
A State determines the license fee, the license renewal cycle, most renewal procedures, and continues to decide the age, medical and other driver qualifications of its intrastate commercial drivers. Interstate drivers must meet the longstanding Federal driver qualifications (49 CFR 391).
All CDLs must contain the following information:
* The words "Commercial Driver's License" or "CDL;"
* The driver's full name, signature, and address;
* The driver's date of birth, sex, and height
* Color photograph or digitized image of the driver;
* The driver's State license number;
* The name of the issuing State;
* The date of issuance and the date of the expiration of the license;
* The class(es) of vehicle that the driver is authorized to drive;
* Notation of the "air brake" restriction, if issued;
* The endorsement(s) for which the driver has qualified;
States may issue learner's permits for purposes of behind-the-wheel training on public highways as long as learner's permit holders are required to be accompanied by someone with a valid CDL appropriate for that vehicle and the learner's permits are issued for limited time periods.
