Massachusetts was the first state to require driver’s licenses, starting in 1903. Anyone could get one, since driving exams were not mandatory. This quickly led to an increased number of accidents, forcing the state to implement significant changes to the licensing process. In 1907, Massachusetts introduced a chauffeur exam, requiring professional drivers to demonstrate their driving skills. Today, this requirement is still in place for anyone who wants to obtain a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL).

Although the licensing process has changed over the decades, its focus on safety and responsibility remains the same. Aspiring commercial drivers in Massachusetts must pass a 50-question general knowledge exam, submit identification documents, pass a vision screening, and pass a medical exam before they can get a Commercial Learner’s Permit (CLP). During the following 14 days, you must complete Entry-Level Driver Training (ELDT) from a registered training provider.

Today’s CDL skills test is far more comprehensive than the chauffeur exam of a century ago. It is divided into three parts. First, you must complete a pre-trip inspection, pointing out and explaining vehicle components. Next, you will perform basic control maneuvers like straight-line backing. Finally, a road test will evaluate your driving skills in real-world situations.
