To get a CDL in Ohio, first obtain a commercial learner's permit (CLP) by passing the required knowledge tests. Hold the CLP for at least 14 days, then complete CDL training (if desired) and pass the skills test. Ensure you meet all age and medical requirements.
The cost for a CDL in Ohio includes a $27 fee for the knowledge test, $50 for the skills test, and a $42.25 fee for the CDL itself. Additional fees apply for endorsements and CDL training programs.
CDL training duration in Ohio varies by program. Full-time courses can last several weeks, while part-time courses may extend over several months, depending on the school and the specific program.
In Ohio, disqualifications from obtaining a CDL include having multiple licenses, certain criminal convictions, especially involving a motor vehicle, drug or alcohol related offenses, and major traffic violations like reckless driving or leaving the scene of an accident.
The three tests for the Ohio CDL permit include the General Knowledge test, Air Brakes test (if applicable), and the Combination Vehicle test (for Class A CDL). Specific endorsements require additional tests.
