Mississippi has slightly different requirements for their commercial driver’s license than other states in order to get a trucking job. Those who want to hold a CDL must be at least 17 years of age. Applicants must hold a current driver’s license with the state, and must be able to prove their social security number and medical health. Mississippi CDL requirements also include a requirement to provide a proof of residency.

Mississippi licensing information also includes a necessary CDL learner’s permit. The written portion of the test will cover information from the Mississippi CDl Manual.  Those who wish to take their driving portion of the test must have another driver to ride along with them. This driver must hold the same CDL license that is currently being sought.

Mississippi re-licensing information generally includes a 1 year grace period after expiration. Those who fail to renew after this period will be expected to take both written and driving tests again. You will need to provide a new physical each and every time you renew your CDL.

Truck Driving Shools in Mississippi also provide training and education for your Class A CDL License.  Search all Truck Driving Jobs if you are looking for a CDL job in a different state.
