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.

Do you need a cdl to drive a cmv pulling a trailer?

Anything defined as a CMV will require a CDL, regardless. So if it's pulling a trailer, yes, it will require a CDL.


Do you need a CDL to drive a cmv on private property in Illinois?

Technically, yes - you're supposed to be CDL licensed to even be in actual physical control of a CMV. However, you're not going to get a ticket operating a CMV on private property without a CDL. However, if you get into any sort of accident, the insurance can reject the claim on the grounds of an unqualified operator being behind the wheel of the vehicle.

You can get a CDL in any state (your city is irrelevant) at 18. However, you would only be able to operate a CMV within the state of Illinois. In order to operate a CMV in interstate commerce or to get a hazmat endorsement, you must be 21.


What is reckles driving with CDL?

Just while being in possession of a CDL, or while operating a CMV? If you get a reckless driving charge in a four wheeler as a CDL holder, it's no different than if you didn't have a CDL.. except you'll probably lose your job and finding work as a CMV operator isn't going to be fruitful for you afterwards. And yes, offences in a four wheeler go on the same MVR as offences in a CMV do, so a ticket you get in your personal vehicle will affect you employment wise, and you're required to report that ticket just the same as you are if you were cited in a CMV. If you got a reckless driving charge while operating a CMV, the only difference between the criteria for that and a reckless driving charge is that the officer has a little more leniency to declare it reckless driving.. and that you'll get hammered on your CSA2010 report, as well.

Can you get a cdl license in another state while your mass cdl has been revoked for life?

No... CDL information from all states goes to CDLIS, and you'll be denied in every state. If you did something causing your CDL to be revoked for life, you probably don't need to be out there in a CMV, anyhow...
