Hello, so I want to become a truck driver. After using this page I successfully passed all written exams. However a friend and told me he heard of ppl not being US citizens or permanent residents getting a permit and passing the driving test but then receiving a letter saying your CDL will not be issued. DOES ANYBODY KNOW A MEXICAN PERSON WITH THE DACA (DREAM ACT OR DEFFERED ACTION) VISA THAT GOT THEIR CDL IN CALIFORNIA. IVE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND CANT FIND ANSWERS IVE CALLED SCHOOLS AND THE DMV BUT THEY ARE NOT SURE . I DONT GIVE ANT TO BURN MY 1000$ ON TRUCKING DRIVING SCHOOL TO THEN GET DENIED. I DO HAVE MY CA DRIVERS LICENSE BUT I HEARD STORIES OF CDL DENIALS BUT HAVE NOT MET ANYBODY YET WHO WENT THROUGH IT. A CDL is required to drive any of the following vehicles: The state agency that handles everything related to your driver's licences, including testing, issuance, transfers, and revocation.

I don't know for sure... but, I read somewhere that if you are from Mexico or Canada you can use your CDL from those two countries, in the U.S, but you cannot get a U.S.-based CDL. Again... I do not know this to be fact, it's just something I came across and read a while back. Good luck. A CDL is required to drive any of the following vehicles:CDL:

Do you have a GREEN CARD - or other USIC documents that authorize you to work? For example: Arizona's DMV has this to say: USCIS Employment Authorization Document (I-688A, I688B, I-766) – An EmploymentAuthorization Document resulting from a Deferred Action Childhood Arrival is not acceptable If you are not able to LEGALLY WORK in the U.S. - then getting a CDL will not enable you to GET A JOB. And due to security concerns, people that are not legal permanent residents, are not going to be able to get a CDL. I'm going to stay out of the political aspects of this - but will reiterate that you need to have WORK AUTHORIZATION IN HAND. And this may vary from state to state. California may be the most lenient when it comes to this - even allowing undocumented immigrants to obtain drivers licenses. But a CDL is a totally other story. Also keep in mind your DACA is only good for a couple of years (regardless of whether or not you may be granted "permanent resident status" down the road), and most states (and federal regs) around CDL's require permanent residence (green card) along with the right to work.

From what i have been told you must be a legal resident. I do not know what is entailed from that but i was sitting in a drivers lounge not long ago talking politics (dont ask) and a guy from Mexico put in his 2 cents saying who he would vote for if he could vote and the question was asked how he got a CDL he said he worked his butt off to be a legal resident to get his CDL. I do not know what you got to do or if you are already listed as that but that is what i was told by a non citizen that works for the same company as i do A CDL is required to drive any of the following vehicles:CDL:

Well I am not a permanent resident but I am here legally and have a work permit you are wrong here buddy, with DACA you are still illegal and have now lawful status in the U.S it was just given to temporarily protect young immigrants and allow them to go to college/ work. with the Daca program you get a social security and a 2 year work permit which can be renewed however keep in mind that there is no direct path from deferred action to lawful permanent residence or to citizenship. And, it can be revoked at any time. Donald trump has said removing the DACA will be the first thing he does if elected president. and since DACA was placed with presidential power, with the same power it can be removed instantly. California is one of i believe 5 states that give driver license to illegals, that driver license either says "federal Limit applies" or "driving privelages" only. those can't get a CDL job because they still can't work in the U.S (Florida don't have this so i can't be 100% sure on the notice but you get the point) with DACA you can get a temporarly driver license, Social security and 2 year work permit. you can Legally apply and try to get a CDL license. and are free to work aslong as you renew your work permit and aslong as the DACA is still in place. you're only restrictions are you cannot leave the U.S to drive into mexico or canada , and no HAZMAT (HAZMAT requires you to be either a citizen or a legal permenent resident) Goodluck A CDL is required to drive any of the following vehicles: Explosive, flammable, poisonous or otherwise potentially dangerous cargo. Large amounts of especially hazardous cargo are required to be placarded under HAZMAT regulations A truck drivers DAC report will contain detailed information about their job history of the last 10 years as a CDL driver (as required by the DOT).

Checkout FMCSA 383.71 Subpart E (b) (9). Which pretty much covers it. But there are some "sanctuary states" that do afford illegal (zero docs) and DACA's some leeway to drive and work. I doubt this extends to CDL Drivers, but sometimes it depends on the level of ignorance/sympathy of the examiner at the DMV on that day. There is also the "1 year regular operators license" requirement for CDL's - which some states appear to enforce more stringently than others. Despite the fact that CDL's are "supposed to be" federally regulated and "uniform" in regs/requirements from state to state, sometimes that just doesn't appear to be the case.
