['Commercial drivers license CDL', 'Entry-Level driver training']

- A commercial driver's license (CDL) authorizes an individual to operate a class of commercial motor vehicle (CMV).
- A commercial learner's permit (CLP) authorizes an individual to operate a class of CMV when accompanied by a holder of a valid CDL for purposes of behind-the-wheel training.
Commercial driver’s license (CDL): A license issued to an individual by a state or other jurisdiction of domicile, in accordance with the standards contained in Part 383, to an individual which authorizes the individual to operate a class of a commercial motor vehicle (CMV).
Commercial learner’s permit (CLP): A permit issued to an individual by a state or other jurisdiction of domicile, in accordance with the standards in Part 383, which, when carried with a valid driver’s license issued by the same state or jurisdiction, authorizes the individual to operate a class of a CMV when accompanied by a holder of a valid CDL for purposes of behind-the-wheel (BTW) training. When issued to a CDL holder, a CLP serves as authorization for accompanied BTW training in a CMV for which the holder’s current CDL is not valid.
