To qualify for a CDL license in Maine, the first thing you need to be sure of is that you have a clean driving record. You must also pass a standard physical every 2 years. You must be at least 16 to operate routes through state highways and metropolitans, and you must be able to read and speak English well enough to read road signs, prepare reports, and communicate with the public and with law enforcement.
If you wish to qualify for a Hazardous Materials CDL, you must meet all the aforementioned qualifications, but you must also be at least 21 years old.
For the CDL road test portion, you will need to understand how to inspect your vehicle for safety hazards, drive in varying weather and road conditions, learn how to couple and uncouple trailers, and successfully maneuver the truck in traffic conditions.
It costs $35 to apply for a commercial CDL license in Maine. For each endorsement such as passenger transport, tank vehicles or hazardous materials that you wish to add to your CDL add another $10 to this application fee.
