Looking to grab a trucking job in Rhode Island? There are a few Rhode Island CDL requirements that you must meet to actually obtain your CDL and get to driving in the area.

You must provide various pieces of Rhode Island licensing information, including a driver’s license from the state of Rhode Island and a valid Social Security card. Individuals must also be able to provide a medical physical certificate to show the level of overall health required for the job.

Rhode Island CDL requirements state that individuals must surrender all drivers’ licenses from other states, as well as from Mexico or Canada. Individuals will need to have held a state license for at least one year, and now have any suspensions or revocations on the driving record.

Rhode Island re-licensing information states that individuals may be asked to provide a new medical exam every time that they renew. Individuals are expected to renew their license every 5 years. Failure to renew by the specified date may lead to retesting.

Study material to pass the written portion of the CDL test may be found in the Rhode Island CDL Manual, which is a free publication.
