Those who are looking to be a trucker in Oregon are going to need to meet all of the Oregon CDL requirements. Some pieces of Oregon licensing information to take note of are the age requirements: anyone wishing to drive in the state must be 18, while those looking to cross state lines must be 21 years of age.

Other Oregon CDL requirements include the need to provide proof of a legal name, and proof of a social security card (or number). Applicants must be able to provide proof of residency before moving forward with the testing process.

Individuals are going to need to pass a general knowledge test before they move on to the actual driving test itself. The information for the written test may be found in the free Oregon CDL Manual.  The driving test has the same requirements as most states, forcing applicants to show skills in inspection, hazardous driving conditions, and general truck operation.

Oregon re-licensing information includes the need to renew after every 8 years. Individuals are expected to renew within 180 days of their birth date. Those who do not are subject to retesting for all related tests.
