How CDL Training Works in New Jersey
Getting a commercial driver's license in New Jersey follows the same federal path as the rest of the country. Start by passing the written knowledge tests at your local New Jersey DMV to receive a commercial learner's permit (CLP). With your permit in hand, enroll with one of the 221 FMCSA-registered providers listed below to complete Entry-Level Driver Training — classroom theory plus behind-the-wheel range and road hours. Your provider certifies your completion to FMCSA, and then you schedule and pass the New Jersey CDL skills test to earn your license.
