After you have completed your written test requirements and obtained your DOT medical card, you may have your CDL permit issued. You must wait 14 days after the issuance of your permit to complete your skills testing. At this time, CDL permits are valid for 180 days from issuance. A maximum of 2 CDL permits can be issued to a customer without additional testing.

Approved Testing Providers can be located at flhsmv.gov/driver-licenses-id-cards/commercial-motor-vehicle-drivers/ through the commercial driver heading.
