Hi!

I just can't find online that shows list of CDL renewals in each of states. I know Michigan is 4 years. but what about other states?

CDL:

Commercial Driver's License (CDL)

A CDL is required to drive any of the following vehicles:

  • Any combination of vehicles with a gross combined weight rating (GCWR) of 26,001 or more pounds, providing the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of the vehicle being towed is in excess of 10,000 pounds.
  • Any single vehicle with a GVWR of 26,001 or more pounds, or any such vehicle towing another not in excess of 10,000 pounds.
  • Any vehicle, regardless of size, designed to transport 16 or more persons, including the driver.
  • Any vehicle required by federal regulations to be placarded while transporting hazardous materials.

I diligently looked, as well !! This FMCSA site is SUPPOSED to have an interactive map, per state .. but I can't get it to work; you can try:

Also, since you are in Lima (Ohio) .. what does it matter? We do 5 years here!!!

Really, what difference does it make? Get the license, then several years down the line, you will be required to renew it online or in person. It's the same with any driving license.

Iowa randomly chooses between 5 and 7 years. Wife and I got both of ours at the same time when we moved here but hers expires a year before mine.

OOS:

When a violation by either a driver or company is confirmed, an out-of-service order removes either the driver or the vehicle from the roadway until the violation is corrected.
