Commercial Driver\u2019s License Basics<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

The acronym \u201cCDL\u201d stands for \u201ccommercial driver\u2019s license.\u201d A commercial driver\u2019s license is just like any driver\u2019s license, except it allows you to legally operate commercial vehicles. This includes tow trucks and record. The other major difference is qualifying for commercial driver\u2019s license. To get a regular driver\u2019s license, all you need to do is pass simple written test and a brief field test. But in order to get your CDL, you will need to be able to present the proper documentation, as well as pass a series of classroom courses and field tests. And in all states, a person must be at least 18 years old and have a valid driver\u2019s license to receive a commercial driver\u2019s license. Additional requirements vary from state to state, so check with your Department of Transportation office for details on obtaining a CDL where you live.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Get a CDL in Indiana<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In Indiana, you\u2019ll also need to have a Social Security card, a valid medical card, proof of car insurance, enough insurance coverage for the vehicle you plan on using during your skills test, and a Department of Transportation (DOT) medical examination certification form completed by a licensed physician. Once you have all of your documents in order, you will need to take them to the nearest Driver\u2019s License Division Office in your town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be sure to choose an office that deals with commercial driver\u2019s licenses. Many offices allow you to mail your documents if you so choose. Just be sure to get the proper contact information before filling out your envelope and sending it in the mail. If you are serious about a career in the wrecker industry, try contacting some local tow truck companies for advice on getting your CDL. You may make some long-lasting relationships and set yourself up for a position as a tow truck driver before you even apply for your commercial driver\u2019s license.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
