Military Skills Test Waiver Program

The Military Skills Test Waiver program allows drivers with two years of experience safely operating heavy military vehicles to obtain a Commercial Driver's License (CDL) without taking the skills tests. 

Military personnel can use the Application for Military Skills Test Waiver if currently licensed and are, or were, employed within the past 12 months in a military position requiring the operation of a military motor vehicle equivalent to a commercial motor vehicle.

Once you have completed the Application for Military Skills Test Waiver, submit it in person along with an Application for Commercial Driver's License (CDL-1), pass necessary knowledge exams, and submit necessary documents to be issued a CDL.
