Guide for Commercial Driver's License Certification

Status: Active
Project Start Date: 07/31/2023

Summary:

For Minnesota agencies, recruiting for positions which require a CDL has been made more difficult due to two primary factors: 1) widespread labor shortages at the national scale, and 2) recent federal regulations increasing the scrutiny and stringency of CDL certification. Agencies have a need for assistance in providing cost-effective resources for staff to facilitate CDL certification.
