No, you cannot. Canada is part of the ICC, and shares commercial driver information with the American FMCSA. If you try obtaining a US licence while possessing a Canadian one, or vice versa, they'll find out about it. By the way, "CDL" is a term exclusive to the US.. Canada uses a different system. Class 1 is the equivalent to a Class A CDL, Class 2 is equivalent to a Class B, and I believe Class 3 is for buses and such.

∙ 11y agoFor a Canadian truck driver driving into the US, their Class 1 license is valid here. It is even possible for a Canadian Class 1 driver to get hired on with a US company and not have to get a US CDL. However, if you are a Canadian citizen living in the US, in order to get a CDL and become employed as a CDL driver in the US, you must have a valid green card and work visa and be an established permanent resident of the state you're residing in.

The only way it could be mandated is if you have a CDL. If you don't have one, they can't, although they can send a request to the DMV in Texas to do so. Whether or not Texas complies is up to them.
