Some states will allow it only on private property, although the federal regs still prohibit it.even then, insurance companies may deny a claim resulting from an unlicenced operator driving a CMV. If the CMV is a registered farm or recreational vehicle, a CDL is not required, although licencing requirements vary from state to state- some states may require a non-CDL equivalent licence, while others may have their own licencing requirements.
DOT says you can operate a commercial vehicle within a 50-mile radius of the vehicle's home location. This was intended so farmers could take crops to their point of sale without needing a CDL.

CDL stands for Commercial Drivers Licence. It's the licence you must hold to operate a CMV. CMV stands for Commercial Motor Vehicle, and is the vehicle itself.

18 and already holding a valid Ohio drivers license. If you get a CDL before you're 21, you'll get an "intrastate only" restriction which prohibits you from operating a CMV outside of your home state, and you will not be able to get a hazmat endorsemen.
Can you have a ca commercial drivers license and a marijuana prescription?
You cannot operate a CMV with marijuana in your system, even with a prescription. While some states have chosen to allow medical marijuana, it's still illegal under federal law. Likewise, commercial vehicles are governed by federal law - the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations - even if operated in only an intrastate capacity.
How old must you be to get your cdl license to become a truck driver?
You can get one at 18, but you won't be able to operate a CMV outside of your home state, nor will you be able to get a hazmat endorsement (not to mention your prospects of being hired as a CMV operator at 18 are pretty slim). To be able to operate a CMV in interstate operations, you must be 21.

What is the gross vehicle weight of a commercial vehicle?
Depends on the vehicle itself. Any vehicle used for commercial purposes is a commercial vehicle. Vehicles requiring a Commercial Drivers License (CDL) are defined as a Commercial Motor Vehicle (CMV) by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, but commercial vehicles can be of a lower GVWR than a CMV. Anyone driving a commercial vehicles over 10,000 lbs. GVWR is supposed to possess and retain a DOT medical card, and any commercial vehicle over 26,000 lbs. GVWR requires a CDL, as well as any vehicle of any GVWR which is a bus designed to transport more than 15 persons (including the driver) or is carrying a quantity of hazardous materials which requires hazmat placards to be displayed.

Could you Drive trailer while having a DUI?
With a DUI conviction, you typically lose your license. In some states, it is possible to apply for a restricted license which would allow you to get to and from work, but only for that purpose - you can't use it to drive vocationally, and, if you have a CDL, it does not reinstate your privilege to operate a CMV.
