Question:  When not driving a commercial motor vehicle for agricultural input purposes, is the license valid for non-commercial motor vehicles?

Answer:  Yes.

Question:  Must the Restricted CDL be re-validated for each season?
Answer:  Yes.  The driver must appear at a driver license station during the current season or not more than 30 days before the beginning of the season to validate the license.

Question:  Is testing required?
Answer:  No.

Question:  Must the driver have a good driving record?
Answer:  Yes.  The applicant must have two years of previous driving experience.  This means that he/she must have held a license that permits unaccompanied driving for at least two years.  The applicant must be at least 18 years of age.  The driver license examining staff will review the driving record for the previous two-year period.  There must be no suspensions, revocations, disqualifications, denials, bars or cancellations of any kind.  Traffic offenses that would prevent the issuance of a Restricted CDL are similar to the serious and major offenses that contribute to CDL disqualification.
