If you are looking to pick up a Delaware trucking job you must meet all of the Delaware CDL Requirements. Meeting the following Delaware licensing information requests will help you to successfully apply for the license required for the job.

Anyone working to obtain a CDL from the state of Delaware must be over the age of 18. Applicants must have a valid driver’s license from the state and must have over one year of driving experience from the date of application. Anyone expecting to pick up commercial driving jobs that require the movement of hazardous materials or movement over state lines must be 21 years old. Some of the Delaware CDL requirements that differ from other states include another form of proof of identity and a proof of residency.

There are two different tests that must be passed by anyone looking to obtain a CDL in Delaware. Any Delaware licensing information that you find will state the need for a written test and a road skills test.  Read the free Delaware CDL Manual to study for your written test.

Those with a Hazmat endorsement will need to renew their license every 5 years. Delaware re-licensing information states that those who have let their license expire will need to take all relevant tests again to be relicensed.
