I need to know the requirements for obtaining a new Commercial Driver's License (CDL) in Illinois. Specifically, what training is mandatory, what types of exams must I pass, and what are three common endorsements I can add to my CDL?
Navigate to the 'Commercial Driver's License (CDL)' section from the homepage. Locate and click the 'Entry-Level Driver Training (ELDT)' link to identify training requirements and at least three endorsements. Go back to the main CDL page. Locate and click the 'Publications and Forms' link. Identify the types of exams required for a CDL based on document titles (e.g., 'Written And Drive Exams', 'CDL Skills and Drive Information Sheet'). Synthesize the gathered information on training, exams, and endorsements.
State that Entry-Level Driver Training (ELDT) is required for CDL applicants. Identify and state that both written exams (including general knowledge, air brakes, and combination vehicles) and a skills/drive test are necessary for obtaining a CDL. List at least three specific CDL endorsements available in Illinois (e.g., Passenger (P), School Bus (S), Hazardous Materials (H)). Provide a summary that accurately includes all requested information.
