Yes. You have to have some class of unrestricted drivers licence before you can get a CDL.
A person who operates a vehicle which requires the operator to possess a Commercial Drivers Licence.
You need a Commercial Driver's License (CDL). You can get it at the Driver's Licence place. But I suggest you get the books on a CDL and study first !
You can't even do that with a non-CDL licence, let alone with a federally regulated CDL. And, just my $.02 worth, if your driving habits caused you to get your licence suspended, it's probably for the best that you don't get a CDL.
You might be able to get the licence, but you won't be able to get the DOT medical card, which will give you a de facto bar from employment as a CDL driver.
Firefighting and emergency response vehicles are exempt from CDL requirements under federal law. The state may, however, require that a non-CDL Class A or B licence be held by the driver of the vehicle, and individual department policies may require a CDL, rather than a non-CDL licence.
Even if you were able to get the licence, you would never get a DOT medical card, which is required for employment as a CDL driver.
At the same agency which issues any other class of driver's licence. However, if you need to be trained and qualified to receive a CDL, you typically have to go to a truck driving school.
It won't stop you from getting a licence, but a conviction of a charge of driving on a suspended licence usually adds four points to your drivers licence. If it occurred within the last three years, four points is going to be enough to prevent you from being able to find employment as a CDL driver.
Before you get a CDL, you will. You cannot legally operate any vehicle requiring a CDL on a public roadway without either holding the appropriate class of CDL (plus endorsement when necessary) or the appropriate class of CDL permit while being supervised by a licensed CDL holder.
