A Step by Step Guide to Getting Your New Jersey CDL

4 Steps to Get a New Jersey Commercial Driver's License

1. Review New Jersey CDL Requirements

Before you begin the process of getting a New Jersey Class A CDL, the best thing to do is review the state CDL requirements. Some of these requirements include a minimum age requirement and CDL physical requirements. By reviewing this information ahead of time, you will be prepared to move onto the next steps without any unexpected surprises.

2. Get Your New Jersey CDL Permit

Just like getting a regular driver's license in the state of New Jersey, a permit is required to move forward with the steps of obtaining a New Jersey Class A CDL. You can get a Class A CDL permit by passing a series of written exams as well as a vision test. You can review the requirements to obtaining a New Jersey Class A CDL permit here.

3. Add CDL Endorsements

If you wish to add an endorsement to your New Jersey CDL, you will need to pass written CDL endorsement tests. Be sure to research your endorsements beforehand as some, such as the Hazardous Materials (HazMat) endorsement, may also require a background check before they can be added to your CDL license in New Jersey. Consult the CDL endorsements section of the New Jersey manual for more information (page 1-2).

4. Take New Jersey CDL Skills Test

In New Jersey, a CDL driving test must be passed in which the driver completes a 2-part exam that includes a knowledge and skills test. Once the skills test has been passed, a driver can be issued an actual CDL license from the State of New Jersey. To view more information on CDL testing in New Jersey, click here.
