To become a licensed commercial driver in the Keystone State, you must be at least 18 and hold a valid driver’s license. The Department of Transportation (DOT) oversees the licensing process and requires all applicants to pass a vision screening, score 80% or higher on the official general knowledge exam, pay the licensing fees, and submit identification documents before they can get a Commercial Learner’s Permit (CLP). Those who plan to engage in non-excepted commerce must also pass a medical exam. This examination must be done by a medical examiner listed in the FMCSA National Registry.

Once you get a CLP, you must wait 14 days before you can take the CDL skills tests. During this time, aspiring commercial drivers are highly encouraged to practice driving under the supervision of a licensed driver seated in the front passenger seat. Entry-Level Driver Training (ELDT) is a federal requirement set by the FMCSA. It consists of theory training and behind-the-wheel training, preparing you for your future responsibilities as a licensed commercial driver. During the licensing process, you must complete ELDT from a provider listed in the Training Provider Registry (TPR).
