SKILLS WAIVER INFORMATION
Since 2011, State Driver Licensing Agencies (SDLAs) have the authority to substitute two years of CMV safe driving experience in military equivalents of commercial motor vehicles for the skills test portion of the commercial driver license skills test. Military drivers must apply within one year of leaving active duty. The regulation, 49 CFR 383.77, requires applicants to certify:
You have not held more than one license (except a military DL) in the past two years.
You have not had your base state-issued driver license suspended, revoked or canceled.
You have not had convictions in any type of motor vehicle for the disqualifying CDL offenses listed elsewhere in the regulations.
Some other requirements may apply in your state, but you’ll find the process is designed to make your transition from your military position to a civilian career as easy as possible. For your convenience, the FMCSA has generated the standardized Application for Military Skills Test Waiver form below that addresses all the issues in the new regulation.
