Missouri CDL requirements follow the general requirements mandated by the national government. Those who are looking to operate a vehicle that is over 26,000 pounds (or trailer more than 10,000 pounds) must obtain this license.

Missouri licensing information includes the mandatory age of 18. Those who wish to move hazardous materials are going to need to receive that specific endorsement, which has an age requirement of 21.

Applicants will be expected to provide proof of name, proof of birth, and proof of a social security number. Those who do provide these specific parts of Missouri CDL requirements will then head to a vision test. Those who pass will head to a written exam, a test that challenges the skills and reasoning of the applicant.  The free Missouri CDL Manual should be used to study for your written test.  Finally, the driving test will ensure that the applicant can perform the basic maneuvers of the road.

Missouri re-licensing information states that you must renew within 6 months of expiration. Failure to do so will lead to retesting. A vision test and highway sign test is required for all who renew in time.
