What is the minimum age required to apply for a Commercial Driver's License (CDL)?

The correct answer is: 18

The minimum age required to apply for a Commercial Driver's License (CDL) is 18 years old. At this age, individuals can obtain a CDL to operate commercial vehicles intrastate, meaning they can drive within their own state. However, to operate a commercial vehicle across state lines or transport hazardous materials, a driver must be at least 21 years old. This age requirement ensures that drivers are sufficiently mature and responsible enough to handle the complexities and responsibilities that come with driving commercial vehicles. Therefore, being 18 years old not only allows for the foundational level of driving experience but also aligns with the regulatory framework in place to maintain road safety and compliance.
