What do I do to get my CDL with my military drivers license?

The DMV will give you all that Info and application or Motor pool Sergent for Military skill test waiver or you can download it. also study the DMV CDL Book since you are not just a Military driver but also a Civilian as well. good luck. P.S. also have a copy of your 348 proof of Military Drivers training and ask for A-CDL testing.

This are the documents.

I'm a former 88m, and have a CDL class A. CDLs are issues by the state but fall under DOT. The state DMV will have a study guide online. The requirements for testing and wavers will vary by state. Some school will take TA and the G.I.bill. just so you know 88m and civilian truck driving is very different.

There is a considerable difference between driving for the military and driving as a civilian. Fmcsa has imposed so many new rules about when we can drive, how long we can drive and each state has some specific requirements about where we can drive. A lot of states are trucker friendly but there are many that are not.
I strongly encourage you to go to a school, not a trucking company, to get your license. This will give you time to ask questions from a source that isn't going to steer you wrong, learn the difference between military equipment and civilian equipment, and generally get ready to drive along with the rest of us.
Most companies will fall all over themselves to hire you once you have your class A, just remember to do your research.
Truckers are an inclusive bunch, they will go out of their way to help if you only ask.
As a driver, myself, I can say this industry is exactly what you make of it.

Good luck

I live in Ohio and WAY back in 1993 I received my class A CDL as being grandfathered in. Check you state laws where you will be living after the military. Good luck!

In my state you also have to wait 2 years after getting your military license to get the waiver. License not permit. Check online for your state's requirements.

You will still have to take the written and driving test to get a civilian CDL

I went to work at a trucking company straight out of the Army using my military experience as a heavy equipment operator.
I had several years experience driving M-916 and M-920's hauling equipment up to a D7 Dozer. At the time I left active duty I had over 9 years experience driving military equipment, this was all documented.
The company I went to work for had me go through a 2 week orientation instead of the normal 1 week, during that time I road tested with several of the company's driver/trainers. I was able to get a learners CDL during that time and at the end of the 2 weeks I took the tests required to get my full Class A CDL. I drove team with a trainer for 3 weeks then was let loose on my own.
This was 1992, I drove commercial truck while I was in the reserves until I retired in 2008.

This is just one example of the experience garnered from the military to drive commercial truck.
To get the correct answer to your question you need to contact the Department of Licensing in the state that you reside. Those on this forum can give good advice but unless they are actively working for the DOL where you live they won't be able to give you the exact answer you need.

Good luck, the OTR life is not for everyone.

that is true you can get a waiver from your captain but you have to at least have your military license 1ST that's how my unit does it

I agree with what SFC Nelson L. Friday- Gonzalez said, Michigan has the same standards.
