Cdl 15 Form PDF Details

The CDL 15 form, introduced by the State of North Carolina Department of Transportation Division of Motor Vehicles, plays a pivotal role for military personnel seeking to translate their military driving experience into a civilian context. Specifically designed for individuals who are or were employed within a year immediately preceding their application in a military position requiring the operation of a military motor vehicle equivalent to a Commercial Motor Vehicle (CMV), this form serves as a certification for the waiver of the CDL Skills Test. In essence, it bridges the gap between military service and civilian employment opportunities, recognizing the value of the skills acquired through military service. The CDL 15 requires the completion and verification by both the applicant and their commanding officer, further necessitating the form's return to the specified CDL Section in Raleigh, North Carolina. Additionally, this document outlines specific eligibility criteria, including a clean driving record over the past two years and successful completion of a skills test administered by the military, if applicable. Importantly, the validity of this form extends a mere 30 days from the commanding officer's signature, emphasizing the urgency in its processing. As an invaluable resource, it not only facilitates the transition to civilian driving roles for service members but also underscores a critical measure of support for their professional development post-service.
