Yes. Any driver of a truck weighing more than 26,000 pounds, or one that transports 15 or more passengers or hazardous materials, must have a commercial drivers license, also known as a CDL. Truck drivers receive their CDL after passing a test of their driving knowledge and a road skills test on a vehicle similar to the truck they will be driving in their course of business.
