Commercial Driver's Licenses (CDL)

Class A, B, and C licenses, known as commercial driver's licenses (CDLs), allow you to operate large vehicles, like trucks and buses.

A commercial driver's license (CDL) allows a customer to operate a commercial motor vehicle. The operation of motor vehicles is regulated by the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles and the U.S. Department of Transportation. Learn how to obtain, renew, and replace your commercial driver's license and more.

Some military sites require commercial delivery drivers to have a REAL ID to be allowed onsite. Commercial drivers are advised to check before visiting a military site to determine if this is a requirement.
