Those who are looking to find commercial driving jobs in the state of Minnesota are going to need to meet the general requirements found in every state. Minnesota CDL requirements include the usual rules and regulations, including a minimum age of 18, and a minimum age of 21 for those wishing to move across state boundaries or move hazardous materials.

Applicants must provide plenty of information, including proof of a valid driver’s license and proof of a social security number. Minnesota licensing information also requires the basic tests that are required for a commercial driver’s license. Applicants must be able to show knowledge and skill for pre-trip inspections, basic control skills, and the actual driving test.  The Minnesota CDL Manual is the basis for the information on the written test.

Minnesota re-licensing information states that you must renew your license every four years. Failure to do so within 6 months to a year of the renewal date could lead to retesting.
