With many DOTs and DMVs still operating at less-than-max capacity, some drivers may find it difficult to renew CDLs and/or CLPs during this time. Although the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) issued extended enforcement notice on expiring CDLs and CLPs, the enforcement does not necessarily cover all fifty states. Motor carriers are still required to follow whatever requirements are still in place within their respective states. A handful of states are simply following the FMCSA's notice, while the majority operate on their own schedules.
Given the substantial differences in between states, we have removed the national map to avoid confusion and would instead refer you to the list below as your primary resource. Please note, state governments are regularly updating and changing previously existing orders, so we encourage members to first check with their respective DOT and DMV websites to ensure the information below is accurate.
