Social Security Number
A Social Security card is required during the CDL process to verify your identity and legal status to work in the U.S. It must be the original card, not a copy, and your name must match other documents.
CDL Permit
A CDL permit (CLP) lets you practice driving commercial vehicles with a licensed CDL holder. It requires passing written tests and meeting age and medical requirements.

Skills
Skills maneuvering tests your ability to control and maneuver a commercial vehicle through backing, parking, and turning exercises safely and precisely.
