Do my van drivers need a CDL?

Modified on Mon, 1 Apr at 4:57 PM

No: Federally only operators of vehicles over 26,000 pounds, and having the capacity to carry 16 or more passengers need to have a CDL. However always check with the state you are operating in for stricter rules such as California and New Jersey who do require CDL’s for van drivers that operate for hire vehicles.
