It is a law passed by the United States Congress which requires ALL the individual states to comply with certain standards in regards to the licensing of commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers. Louisiana driver licensing standards comply with the law, requiring CMV drivers to obtain a Louisiana Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) when driving applicable trucks and buses. A CDL license can ONLY be issued in the driver’s STATE OF LEGAL RESIDENCE, and if you have a CDL, you can have NO OTHER DRIVER’S LICENSE in ANY other state.
