Nebraska residents who have a passion for traveling and a desire to earn a comfortable salary will find that applying for a commercial driver license (CDL) can be a smart career move. You must be at least 18 years of age to apply for a Nebraska CDL. However, only drivers over the age of 21 are eligible to receive a license valid for interstate travel.
You can apply for your CDL at one of the state's 99 examining locations. To prevent identity theft, you must provide legal proof of your name, date of birth, and Social Security number. In addition, you must pay a $55 licensing fee to receive your Nebraska CDL.
The testing requirements for CDL applicants include a vision screening, written exam, and supervised driving skills evaluation administered by a third-party tester. Additional tests will be required if you wish to add endorsements for activities such as transporting hazardous materials or driving a school bus.
