Those who are looking to work truck driving jobs in Georgia have various options for application. Those who are only planning on moving goods in the state of Georgia can apply at 18 years of age or older. Those who are looking to take cross-state jobs must be 21 years of age. The same requirement goes for those who are looking to move hazardous materials.

Those applying for either form of Georgia CDL will have the same Georgia CDL requirements. Applicants must provide various pieces of Georgia licensing information, including two forms of identification and proof of residency. Applicants are also expected to be able to provide proof of residency, and are required to pass a medical exam.

Georgia CDL requirements contain two separate tests. A knowledge test covering the Georgia CDL manual must be passed in order to move onto the actual road skills test. Separate knowledge tests are required for those looking to move hazardous materials or to move doubles and triples.

Georgia re-licensing information is relatively easy to understand. Individuals who renew their license before it expires will simply be able to mail in for their relicensing. Those who fail to do so will be expected to pass all relevant tests.
