To obtain a CDL, individuals must pass written knowledge tests and skills tests related to the type of commercial vehicle they intend to operate. Uhaul trucks do not generally fall under the categories of vehicles requiring a CDL, such as heavy-duty commercial vehicles with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of 26,001 pounds or higher.
CDL training and testing involve operating commercial vehicles that meet the CDL criteria, usually under the supervision of qualified instructors or examiners as prescribed by the state driver's licensing agencies in conjunction with the FMCSA guidelines.
