There are both basic and advanced requirements for those applying for a CDL in the state of Idaho. Basic Idaho CDL requirements include a valid non-commercial license and an age of at least 18 years of age. Applicants are expected to pass a physical exam, and are required to provide proof of a Social Security number.

The basic tests include the written knowledge test and the three-part driving skills test. Those who pass these tests will have an Idaho CDL that is good for one year. There is other Idaho licensing information to take note of for those who are looking for special endorsements.  To prepare for the written test, study the Idaho CDL Manual.

Anyone looking Idaho trucking jobs that haul hazardous materials must pass a background check. Additional tests for knowledge and operation are in place for those looking to move tank vehicles and those looking to move a double or triple.

Idaho re-licensing information states that any individual who has let their license expire for over one year will need to retake both the written test and the driver skill test.
