To get a driving job in ND, you need to first obtain your commercial driver's license (CDL). Some of the North Dakota CDL requirements mimic those of other states, thanks to national mandates. Other pieces of North Dakota licensing information may be new to you, and must be understood before applying for a commercial driver’s license.

Individuals who are looking to transport goods from one state to another must be 21 years of age or older. These individuals must also be able to speak and read English, and must certify that they do not hold a driver’s license from a state other than North Dakota.

Any CDL applicant must also provide valid identification, a social security card (or number), and prove that their driving record is clean. These individuals will then be allowed to take both the written and driving skills tests.  View the North Dakota CDL Manual to study for your written test.

North Dakota re-licensing information shows that renewal is good for four years. Those who allow their license to expire for over one year will be subject to retesting for the written test and the driving skills test.
