State of Idaho CDL Requirements
To obtain commercial driver’s license in the state of Idaho, you must be at least 18 years old and either have a valid Idaho non-commercial license (Class D) or have passed all tests required to obtain one. However, you must have at least one year of verifiable driver experience.
To apply for your CDL, go to a local Idaho DMV. Be sure to bring your current driver's license and social security card. You must also be in compliance with the requirements of Part 391 of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (Qualifications of Drivers) including the DOT medical examination requirements. Your driving record will be also be checked, fees will be collected, and you will take the necessary knowledge tests.
After passing the written tests, you must make an appointment with a CDL skills tester to take the skills test. Some testers have vehicles that you can rent. When you go to the skills tester, you will need to take proof of identification, proof of insurance, and your receipt showing you have passed the written tests and paid the skills test receipt fee.
The skills test has three parts: the vehicle inspection, the basic control skills test, and the road test. The skills test will take two to three hours to complete and must be taken in a vehicle that is representative of the class of vehicle you wish to operate. If the vehicle used for the test is not equipped with air brakes, your CDL will show a restriction stating that you are not licensed to operate vehicles equipped with air brakes.
