Class B
      Any single vehicle with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of 26,001 or more pounds, as well as any vehicle towing another vehicle that does not exceed a weight of 10,000 pounds. 

Class C
      Any vehicle or combination of vehicles that does not meet the criteria of either Class A or Class B, but is designed to transport 16 or more passengers (including the driver), or is used in transporting materials classified as hazardous in the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act. Each applicant must also have a passenger or hazardous materials endorsement in order to obtain a Class C commercial driver’s license. 

Applying for an Idaho Commercial Learner’s Permit

      You must already possess a Idaho commercial learner’s permit (CLP) before you can take the CDL Road/Skills Test. Before applying for a Idaho commercial learner’s permit, you must already possess a valid Idaho Class D driver’s license. You will be issued a Idaho commercial driver’s license (CDL) when you pass both the written general knowledge test and the CDL Road/Skills Test.

      In order to obtain a commercial learner’s permit in the state of Idaho, you must:

• Be at least 18 years of age for intrastate commercial driving (within the state of Idaho only).
• Be at least 21 years of age of interstate commercial driving (outside the state of Idaho).
• Possess a valid Idaho Class D driver’s license.
• Have at least one year of driving experience.
• Pass the CDL general knowledge written test.
• Pay the $3 fee for each written test.
• Pay the $29 fee for the commercial learner’s permit.      

The CDL Knowledge Tests

      The CDL knowledge tests are administered at the Idaho Driver’s License Offices.  All commercial driver’s license applicants must pass the general knowledge test in order to be eligible to receive a CDL. Applicants must also take the knowledge tests whenever they add a class of vehicle to their CDL, add special endorsements to their CDL, or to remove an air brakes restriction that has been placed on their CDL.

      The CDL general knowledge test consists of 50 questions in multiple choice form. In order to receive a passing score, each applicant is required to answer at least 80% of the questions correctly in the time allotted for that test. All knowledge tests require a score of at least 80% to pass.

      Any applicant that exceeds the time limit or incorrectly answers too many questions on the general knowledge test will fail the test. Any applicant that uses any kind of test aid during the test will automatically fail the test. Anyone caught talking to another person during the test will automatically fail the test. Use of cell phones and camera devices is prohibited in the testing area. 

      All applicants should arrive at the Driver’s License Office at least one hour prior to closing when taking the knowledge tests. Most Driver’s License Offices are busier during the afternoon hours so, applicants should keep this in mind when planning their test time.

      Once you successfully pass the required knowledge tests, the Idaho Transportation Department will issue you a commercial learner’s permit so that you can practice operating a commercial motor vehicle. The commercial learner’s permit will be valid for up to six months from the date of issuance.

      You may only operate a CMV under the supervision of a front seat passenger who is at least 21 years old and carries a valid Idaho CDL of the same class as the vehicle you are operating. You may not operate any vehicle that is transporting materials deemed hazardous.

      Over 60% of first time CDL applicants fail the written test! Be sure to download the Complete CDL Practice Test Study Package, as it contains practice tests containing questions and answers specifically designed to help you pass the actual CDL written tests administered by the DMV. You may also want to download the Complete CDL Cheat Sheet Study Package as it includes a collection of study guides with key information designed to help you rapidly learn all the sections of the CDL manual you must know in order to pass the CDL written exams.

You can also contact the Driver services Section by email at driverlicense@itd.idaho.gov. The Idaho Transportation Department is closed during all state holidays.

The CDL Road/Skills Test

      Once you obtain your commercial learner’s permit, you will be allowed to take the CDL Road/Skills Test. The Road/Skills Test is given by appointment only and is administered by state certified CDL Third Party Skills Testers.  To schedule a test appointment, contact your nearest CDL Third Party Skills Tester. Walk-ins are not permitted. Some Third Party Testers provide a vehicle for you to test in for a rental fee. Be sure to ask the CDL Third Party Skills Tester if you are required to provide your own test vehicle when you set up your appointment.

      The CDL Road/Skills Test is a three part test that consists of a Pre-trip Inspection, a Basic Controls Test, and an On-Road Driving Test and should take approximately two to three hours to complete. You will be required to take the test in the same class and type of motor vehicle that you plan to drive once you obtain your CDL.  

      If you take the CDL Skills Test in a commercial motor vehicle that is not equipped with air brakes, then you will have an air brakes restriction attached to your commercial driver’s license. If you fail any one part of the CDL Skills Test, you will be required to retake the entire test again. Only one CDL Skills Test can be taken per day. If your test vehicle is not legally equipped and safe to drive, you will not be able to proceed with the Road/Skills Test.

• Pre-trip Inspection: Before you can take the CDL driving tests, you will first be tested on your knowledge of the class of vehicle you plan on driving once you obtain your CDL. The Pre-trip inspection also determines if your commercial vehicle is safe enough to drive on public roads. If you fail the Pre-trip Inspection, you may not be allowed to take the Road Skills Test.
• Basic Controls Test: Before you can take the Road Skills Test, you will first need to prove that you have the skills to operate a commercial motor vehicle on public roads. This test consists of various off-road maneuvers such as backing up your vehicle, moving your vehicle forward, and making turns within a defined area.
• Road Skills Test: Once you pass the first two tests, you will be required to drive your commercial vehicle on public roads in various traffic situations. You will be required to operate the same class of commercial vehicle you plan to drive once you obtain your CDL.

      The Basic Controls Test will most likely include the following maneuvers:

• 90 degree alley docking
• Straight line backing
• Parallel parking (driver side)
• Parallel parking (conventional)
• Offset backing to the right
• Offset backing to the left

      The Road Skills Test will be administered on a route predetermined by the examiner. The test route will most likely include the following:

• Starting
• Stopping
• Braking
• Turning
• Observing traffic signs
• Observing traffic signals
• Observing other traffic
• Using vehicle controls
• Maintaining proper lane positions
• Downgrades
• Downgrade stopping
• Upgrades
• Upgrade stopping
• Railroad crossings
• Bridge clearance
• Underpass clearance
• General observance of traffic laws
• General safe driving practices for trucks or buses

      On the day of your CDL Road/Skills Test appointment you must:

1. Arrive on time.
2. Bring your validated commercial learner’s permit.
3. Bring your valid D.O.T. medical card (cannot be more than 2 years old).
4. Bring a passenger (age 21 or older) that is qualified to drive a CMV with the same class of CDL or greater than the test vehicle.
5. Bring a test vehicle that is the same class of license that you are testing for that is safe to drive.

      Failure to do any of the above may result in an immediate cancellation of your Road/Skills Test appointment! The Idaho Transportation Department advises applicants to schedule their Road/Skills Test appointment a few weeks in advance and to arrive early for their test appointment. If you decide to cancel your Road/Skills Test appointment, you must cancel the appointment no later than 24 hours in advance. 

      The Idaho Transportation Department has the right to cancel any CDL Road/Skills Test appointment due to bad weather, under sourced staffing, or any other unforseen circumstances. Be sure to call the CDL Third Party Skills Tester on the day of your Road/Skills Test to see if your appointment has been cancelled.

      Once you have passed all the required written and skills tests to obtain your CDL, you will not be authorized to operate a commercial vehicle until you receive your temporary CDL from the County Driver’s License Office. Your permanent CDL will be mailed to you shortly thereafter. It is imperative that you give the County Driver’s License Office the correct and current mailing address. If you relocate after your CDL is issued, you are required to notify the Idaho Transportation Department and give them your new address.

      Your Idaho commercial driver’s license will be valid for up to four years from the date it is issued.

      Be sure to download and study the Idaho Commercial Driver’s License Manual, as it contains pertinent information that will help you pass the CDL Skills Test. El Idaho Manual Para Licencia de Conducir también está disponible en español.

Commercial Driver Self-Certification

      In the state of Idaho, all commercial driver’s license holders must self-certify as to what type of driving they will be doing (intrastate or interstate), and whether they meet or exceed the medical and physical standards put forth by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration to legally and safely operate a commercial motor vehicle. All CDL applicants must self-certify once they obtain their commercial driver’s license.

      You are required to self-certify whenever you:

• Apply for a commercial driver’s license.
• Renew a commercial driver’s license.
• Apply for a higher class of commercial driver’s license.
• Apply for a new CDL endorsement.
• Transfer a commercial driver’s license from another state.

      All commercial drivers who intend to operate a commercial motor vehicle for the following purposes only, do not require a commercial driver’s license and are considered “exempt” and therefore are waived from self-certification:

• Recreation vehicles if they are used for recreational purposes.
• Military vehicles driven by military personnel.
• Firefighting vehicles and equipment used in response to an emergency.
• Emergency vehicles used in response to an emergency involving the preservation of life or property.
• Farm vehicles operated by a farmer, as long as he/she stays within 150 miles of their farm, and the vehicles are not used in common or contract carrier operations.

      Please note, the farm vehicle exemption applies to small farm-to-market operations only. The farm exemption is bound by Idaho state lines, unless Idaho is part of a reciprocity agreement with another state or multiple states thereof. Any farmer who is transporting another farmer’s products and are receiving compensation for such services, are not included in the farm vehicle exemption.

      If you intend to operate a commercial motor vehicle for any other purpose than those listed above, then you are considered “non-exempt” and are required to hold a valid CDL and must self-certify. You may also need to provide a current Medical Examiner’s Certificate.

      If you operate a commercial motor vehicle in either intrastate or interstate commerce solely for the following purposes, then you are under “excepted” status, and therefore do not need to provide a Medical Examiner’s Certificate, but may need to undergo a medical evaluation:

• Transporting school children and/or school staff members between home and school.
• Operating any vehicle as an employee of either Federal, State, or Local government.
• Operating fire and rescue vehicles for emergency purposes and other related events.
• Transporting sick, injured, or deceased persons.
• Primarily transporting propane heating fuel when responding to an emergency condition requiring an immediate response.
• When responding to a pipeline emergency requiring an immediate response such as a pipeline leak or rupture.
• When custom harvesting on a farm or to haul farm machinery and supplies to and from a farm or when transporting crops between a farm and a market or storage facility.
• When operating a farm vehicle that is not a combo vehicle (power unit and towed unit), and is used to haul agricultural products, farm supplies (cannot be materials deemed hazardous), or farm machinery to and from a farm and within 150 air miles of the farm.
• Transporting bees as an apiarist during beekeeping season.
• When transporting migrant workers.
• As a private motor carrier of passengers for non-business activities.

      If you intend to operate a commercial motor vehicle for any other purpose than those listed above, then you operate in either “non-excepted” intrastate commerce, “non-excepted” interstate commerce, or both. You are considered a “non-excepted” interstate driver if you:

1. Cross Idaho state lines while operating a commercial vehicle.
2. Transport any cargo that originated from outside the state of Idaho or is headed to a destination that is outside the state of Idaho.

      You are considered a”non-excepted” intrastate driver if you:

1. Operating a commercial vehicle within the state of Idaho only.
2. Transport any cargo that originated within the state of Idaho and is headed to a destination within Idaho state lines.

    “Non excepted” interstate drivers and “non-excepted” intrastate drivers must provide a current Medical Examiner’s Certificate and must self-certify online using the CDL Self Certification Portal or in person at any Idaho Driver’s License Office. The Medical Examiner’s Certificate cannot expire within 60 days from the date of submission.

      Any commercial drivers who self-certify as “excepted” interstate or “excepted” intrastate, must self-certify online using the CDL Self Certification Portal or in person at any Idaho Driver’s License Office. “Excepted” drivers do not have to submit any medical documents or waivers but, may have to undergo a medical evaluation. Please read over the Idaho Self-Certify Category Chart for more information on self-certifying in the state of Idaho.

      If you have any questions regarding self-certification, you can speak to a customer service representative at the Idaho Transportation Department CDL Help Desk by calling (208) 382-7830 during normal business hours. Please have your commercial driver’s license number readily available when you call. You can also email the CDL Help Desk at ed.pemble@itd.idaho.gov. Please address your emails to Ed Pemble. The Idaho Transportation Department CDL Help Desk is closed during all state holidays.

      For more information about the Medical Examiner’s Certificate, please continue reading below.

Medical Examination Report for Commercial Driver’s License

      All CDL applicants must have the Medical Examiner’s Certificate and the Medical Examination Report completed by one of the following:

• Licensed U.S. doctor of medicine (M.D.)
• Doctor of Osteopathy (D.O)
• Licensed physician assistant (P.A.)
• Advanced practice registered nurse
• Chiropractor

      The Medical Examiner’s Certificate must be attached to the Medical Examination Report and dated within the previous two years if you are renewing your commercial driver’s license. If you are a first time CDL applicant submitting your Medical Examiner’s Certificate, then the certificate must not expire within 60 days from the date of submission.

      The Idaho Transportation Department will only accept your medical forms if they have been completed by a qualified physician who has been certified by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. You can search for a FMCSA certified physician by using the National Registry of Certified Medical Examiners.

      The FMSCA requires you to have at least 20/40 vision in each eye and a field of vision of at least 140 degrees (70 degrees in each eye) in order to be certified to operate a commercial motor vehicle. Under certain conditions, you may be able to be waived from these and other medical requirements. 

      Once you have completed and signed the Medical Examiner’s Certificate, the Medical Examination Report,  and any applicable medical waivers, you can submit your documents by doing either of the following:

• Upload your completed and signed documents online using the  CDL Self Certification Portal.
• Bring your completed and signed documents to any Idaho Driver’s License Office.

      Make sure your information is legible and be sure to double check and, if needed, correct any errors before submitting your documents. All CDL applicants are advised to keep copies of these documents for their own records. Failure to comply with state and federal self-certification regulations will result in a suspension, downgrade, or cancellation of your commercial driving privileges. Please read over the Idaho Self-Certify Category Chart for more information on self-certifying in the state of Idaho.

      If you have any questions regarding medical documents submission, you can speak to a customer service representative at the Idaho Transportation Department CDL Help Desk by calling (208) 382-7830 during normal business hours. Please have your commercial driver’s license number readily available when you call. You can also email the CDL Help Desk at ed.pemble@itd.idaho.gov. Please address your emails to Ed Pemble. The Idaho Transportation Department CDL Help Desk is closed during all state holidays.

      Any person that is applying for a Hazardous Materials CDL endorsement is required to undergo a federal background check and federal fingerprint check according to guidelines set by the Transportation Security Administration. All applicants must also provide the required documents to verify their identification and legal U.S. status. For more information, check out the Transportation Security Administration’s F.A.Q. page.

Military Drivers

      In the state of Idaho, if you are currently serving in the military or have been honorably discharged within the last 90 days, and you have driven military vehicles that would require a CDL to operate as a civilian with a 2 year safe driving record, then you may qualify for the waiver of the CDL Skills Test and may be exempt from taking the commercial driver skills test. You will still be required to take the written tests. Certain restrictions apply. Download, print, and complete the Application for Military Skills Test Waiver to start the process.

If you have any questions about the Application for Military Skills Test Waiver, you can speak to a customer service representative at the Wyoming Department of Transportation Call Center by calling (307) 777-4800.
