You must have held a valid driver’s license for at least one year, and during the last two years:

• Have not had more than one license.

• Have not had your driving privileges suspended, revoked, or canceled for any reason while driving any type of motor vehicle.

• Have not had any accident in which you were cited.

• Have not been convicted of driving under the influence of alcohol or a controlled substance, leaving the scene of any accident, committing any felony involving a motor vehicle, or any other serious traffic violations.

To upgrade to a restricted, seasonal CDL, you may apply at any Driver’s License renewal office or a Driver Exam station that accepts driver’s license applications. You will pay the full fee for the upgrade of license class you choose, including the motorcycle endorsement renewal fee if your license is so endorsed. To renew your seasonal license the following year you must apply for a duplicate license to have your license restrictions updated.

You may operate a commercial motor vehicle (CMV) only during the seasonal period that you select, which may not exceed 180 consecutive days in a 12-month period. You may drive non-commercial vehicles all year. You must renew the restricted seasonal CDL before your driving season starts.

You may not drive a CMV outside of a 150-mile radius of your place of business or the farm you are serving. When you are driving a vehicle that is required to display hazardous materials placards, you are strictly limited to:

• 1,000 gallons or less of diesel fuel.

• Liquid fertilizers, including anhydrous ammonia, in vehicles with a total capacity of 3,000 gallons or less.

• Solid fertilizers that are not mixed with any organic substance.

You are subject to all CDL disqualification penalties. You must maintain a good driving record or your commercial driving privileges will be canceled.
