There are various pieces of Wisconsin licensing information that you must understand before applying for your Commercial Driver’s License, which is needed to get a trucking job in Wisconsin. Individuals who wish to hold a CDL must be 18 years of age or older. Wisconsin CDL requirements state that any individual who wishes to move hazardous materials must be 21 years of age. The same age requirement goes for those who want to operate double and triple trailer rigs, and those who wish to cross state lines with any form of large truck that requires a CDL.

Other Wisconsin CDL requirements include a medical certificate that passes through the MCSR regulations and a valid driver’s license. Individuals will then be expected to take both the written exam and driving skills test. The written test covers the Wisconsin CDL Manual.  It is important to note that there is an application fee, a testing fee, and a fee that must be paid to the third-party company that actually performs these tests.

Wisconsin re-licensing information is important to understand; many forget the information, as the licenses are good for an 8-year period. Those who miss the renewal date will be expected to retake and pass a written exam and driving skills exam.
