Minnesota CDL Guide

Minnesota CDL and Trucking Guide

To get a CDL in Minnesota, you pass the Driver and Vehicle Services (DVS) knowledge tests for a commercial learner's permit, hold the permit for 14 calendar days, then pass a three-part road test. If it is your first Class A or Class B CDL, federal rules also require entry-level driver training (ELDT) from a provider on FMCSA's Training Provider Registry before the road test.

CDL Basics

Getting a CDL in Minnesota

Minnesota CDL at a glance
Licensing agencyDriver and Vehicle Services (DVS), a division of the Minnesota Department of Public Safety, issues commercial learner's permits and CDLs.[1][2]
Official CDL manualMinnesota Commercial Driver's License Manual (PDF). If that link moves, use the DVS CDL forms, documents and resources page, which also has the manual as audio files.[2][3]
Minimum age18 for a Minnesota commercial learner's permit and CDL, which covers driving inside the state. You must be 21 to drive commercially outside Minnesota. The manual says that in most cases you must also be 21 to haul hazardous materials.[4][2][5]
Before the permitYou need a valid Minnesota driver's license, proof of U.S. citizenship or lawful permanent residency, and proof of Minnesota residency. You can try each knowledge test once a day.[4][2]
Wait after the permitYou must hold the permit for 14 calendar days before the road test.[4][2]
How long the permit lasts180 days. It can be renewed, but not past one year from the day it was first issued.[2]
Road testThree parts: vehicle inspection, basic control skills and the road test. You must pass each part to move on to the next, all on the same permit, and the test is given only in English.[6][2]
What to bring to the road testYour Minnesota driver's license, your permit, completed ELDT on your federal record, current insurance for the vehicle, and a current DOT inspection on the truck and the trailer.[6]
If you fail or miss the testThe manual lists a $20 fee for the third and each later road test attempt, and says driver's training is required after a fourth failed road test. Missing a road test appointment, or not cancelling at least 24 hours ahead, adds a $20 no-show fee.[2]
How long the CDL lastsA Class A CDL is valid for four years and can be renewed.[6]
CDL Fees

Minnesota CDL permit and license fees

These are the fees Minnesota DVS publishes for a commercial learner's permit, the tests and a CDL. Each row says who pays it. We list a fee only where the state names it and gives the amount. Checked October 5, 2026.

Entry-Level Driver Training

ELDT in Minnesota: what has to be done before you test

Entry-level driver training (ELDT) is a federal rule, so it works the same in Minnesota as in every other state. If you are getting a Class A or Class B CDL for the first time, upgrading to a Class A or B, or adding a passenger (P), school bus (S) or hazardous materials (H) endorsement for the first time, you have to complete training with a provider listed on FMCSA's Training Provider Registry (TPR).[13]

The state cannot give you the skills test for a Class A or B CDL or a P or S endorsement, or the knowledge test for the H endorsement, until that training is on record.[14] Theory can be done online: the federal definition of theory instruction includes online training.[15] Except for the HazMat endorsement, the theory and behind-the-wheel parts have to be finished within one year of each other.[16]

Minnesota follows the federal rule. DVS lists completing ELDT as a step in applying for a Class A CDL, and you must show completed ELDT to take the road test.[6] DVS says you can take the classroom (theory) part at any time. You cannot take the behind-the-wheel part until you have your learner's permit, and it has to be finished within a year of the theory.[4] The DVS information sheet on ELDT says training must come from a provider listed on the Training Provider Registry and that theory may be done in person or online.[12]

On the Road

Truck rules on Minnesota roads

Size and weight limits

Minnesota legal limits without a permit
Width102 inches (8 feet 6 inches). Mirrors and load securement devices that stick out no more than 3 inches on each side are not counted.[19]
Height13 feet 6 inches, loaded or empty[20]
Single vehicle length45 feet, including load and bumpers. Mobile cranes can be 48 feet.[20]
Semitrailer length48 feet. A single semitrailer can be up to 53 feet if the distance from the kingpin to the centerline of the rear axle group is no more than 43 feet.[20]
DoublesEach trailer up to 28½ feet. Twin trailers may run only on divided highways with four or more lanes and on other highways the commissioner of transportation designates.[20]
Overall combination length75 feet statewide. A tractor and semitrailer longer than 75 feet may run only on divided highways with four or more lanes and other designated highways.[20]
Gross weight80,000 pounds for any vehicle or combination, unless the road is posted lower. Axle groups also have to fit the state's gross weight table.[21]
Single axle20,000 pounds on a paved road, 18,000 pounds on an unpaved road. No wheel may carry more than 10,000 pounds on a paved road or 9,000 on an unpaved road.[22]
Tandem axle34,000 pounds. Two sets of tandems can carry 34,000 pounds each when the first and last axles of the two sets are at least 36 feet apart.[21][23]
Tire load600 pounds per inch of tire width on the steering axles and 500 pounds per inch on other axles, or the tire maker's rated load if that is less[22]

The trucking summary inside the DVS CDL manual still shows 40 feet for a single vehicle. The statute, MnDOT and the State Patrol all say 45 feet. This page follows the statute.

Longer combination vehicles

Minnesota has no grandfathered longer combinations on the federal list. Appendix C to the federal size and weight rule shows "NO" for Minnesota in every column.[24] State law limits a combination to two units, with exceptions listed in the statute. One of them is a truck-tractor and semitrailer pulling one more semitrailer or one full trailer, which may run only on divided highways with four or more lanes and other designated highways.[20]

Truck speed limits

The limits in Minnesota's speed statute are 70 mph on Interstates outside urbanized areas of more than 50,000 people, 65 mph on Interstates inside those areas, 65 mph on other expressways and freeways, 30 mph in an urban district, and 55 mph everywhere else. MnDOT can post a different limit on a state highway after a traffic study.[25]

Winter restrictions and chains

Minnesota law allows tire chains of reasonable size on any vehicle when they are needed for safety because of snow, ice or other slippery conditions. Studded tires are generally not allowed. A vehicle registered in a state that allows studs can use them in Minnesota only while it is in the state occasionally, which the law caps at 30 days in any six months.[26]

Seasonal and posted roads

Minnesota's weight limits change with the season. MnDOT splits the state into six seasonal load limit zones: North, North-Central, Central, Metro, South and Southeast. Each zone gets its own start and end dates every year.[27]

  • Winter load increases: while the ground is frozen, state law raises the weight limits by 10 percent between the dates the commissioner sets for each zone. On Interstate routes you still need a permit to go over 80,000 pounds gross, 20,000 pounds on a single axle or the normal axle group weights.[28] For the 2025 to 2026 winter the increases started December 12 to December 29, 2025 and ended February 24 to March 20, 2026, depending on the zone.[27]
  • Spring load restrictions: between the dates the commissioner sets, a single axle may not carry more than 5 tons on an unpaved road or 10 tons on a paved road, unless the road is posted otherwise.[29] On state highways, MnDOT's map shows which routes drop to 5 or 7 tons. State, U.S. and Interstate highways not shown as restricted stay at 10 tons.[30] In 2026 the restrictions began March 3 in the Metro, South and Southeast zones and ended May 15 in the North zone.[27]
  • How dates are announced: every start and end date takes effect at 12:01 a.m. and comes with at least three days' notice. MnDOT posts the dates on its website, on a recording at 651-366-5400 or 1-800-723-6543, and by email to subscribers.[27]
  • County, city and township roads: MnDOT's dates and maps cover state highways. Local road authorities can post their own limits, and a posting takes effect once the signs are up. Check with the county, city or township.[29][30]

Check the MnDOT seasonal load limits page for current dates and the MnDOT seasonal load limit maps for restricted routes.

HazMat routes and tunnels

The federal hazardous materials route registry lists one restricted route for Minnesota. The Lowry Hill Tunnel on I-94 is closed to every load that requires the vehicle to be marked or placarded. The entry dates from 1995 and tells placarded trucks to follow the signed HazMat truck routes around the tunnel.[31] MnDOT's 2026 commercial vehicle resource book repeats the rule and places the tunnel near downtown Minneapolis.[23]

Check the FMCSA hazardous materials route registry by state before you route a load.

Tolls and transponders

MnDOT lists E-ZPass express lanes on I-394 between Wayzata and Minneapolis, on I-35W, and on I-35E between St. Paul and White Bear Lake.[32] They are priced only during weekday peak hours, 6 to 10 a.m. and 3 to 7 p.m. depending on the route and direction. Fees for solo drivers run from $0.25 to $8.00 and are paid from a prepaid E-ZPass account.[33]

For trucks, MnDOT says large commercial vehicles with more than two axles and weighing more than 26,000 pounds are discouraged from using the E-ZPass lanes during peak hours and will not be given a tag. Outside peak hours, when the overhead signs read OPEN TO ALL TRAFFIC, all commercial vehicles can use the lanes at no charge.[34]

Fuel tax (IFTA)

Minnesota diesel fuel tax
IFTA diesel rate, 4th quarter 2026$0.326 per gallon. The Minnesota Department of Revenue lists $0.326 for clear diesel through December 31, 2026 and $0.328 beginning January 1, 2027.[35][36]
Who handles itThe Prorate Office at Driver and Vehicle Services handles IRP and IFTA. Under IFTA you file one quarterly fuel tax return with your base jurisdiction, and it covers every member jurisdiction.[37][23]
License and decals$28 annual fuel license fee, $12 annual filing fee and $2.50 per vehicle for decals. One decal goes on each side of the cab. The license and decals are good for the calendar year.[23]

IFTA rates can change every quarter. The 4th quarter 2026 matrix was marked not final until December 4, 2026 when this page was checked.

Oversize and overweight permits

MnDOT issues oversize and overweight permits for state highways as single trip, annual or seasonal permits. You order them through MnDOT's online permit system at mn.gotpermits.com, or call the permit office at 651-296-6000.[38][39] A MnDOT permit is not valid on county, city, township or other local roads, so check with the local road authority for those.[40] Start at MnDOT's oversize and overweight permits page, which also links the holiday travel schedule and Twin Cities rush hour zones.[38]

Truck parking

MnDOT runs rest areas with truck parking across the state, but it says more than 85 percent of truck parking in Minnesota is privately owned, at truck stops, shippers and carriers. Live truck parking availability and locations are on the 511mn traveler information site. Minnesota is one of several states in the regional Truck Parking Information Management System, which reports real-time parking availability at rest areas.[41]

A commercial driver under the hours-of-service rules can park for up to ten hours straight at any MnDOT rest area or travel information center that has stalls built for commercial vehicles. Other motorists are limited to four hours where posted.[42]

Weigh stations

MnDOT owns the weigh stations and the State Patrol's commercial vehicle enforcement staff run them. MnDOT lists six: Dayton Port on US 10 at Elk River, Erskine on US 2, Red River at Moorhead, Saginaw on Highway 2, St. Croix on Hudson Boulevard, and Worthington.[43] The State Patrol's page also names Clarks Grove, and says all of its commercial vehicle enforcement staff carry portable scales for roadside weighing anywhere in the state.[39]

When signs are posted for a weight enforcement operation, the driver of a truck or combination registered for more than 10,000 pounds must go to the scale and submit to weighing and inspection. Refusing is a misdemeanor.[44]

Paying for Training

Help paying for CDL training in Minnesota

The Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED) keeps the state's Eligible Training Provider List (ETPL) for Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) training. The list is built into DEED's Career and Education Explorer, where programs marked WIOA-certified make up the ETPL.[45]

You can look through it with the Career and Education Explorer training search. It has a keyword search and a full list of WIOA-certified training.[46]

To ask about funding, contact your local CareerForce location. DEED's search page says to check with CareerForce about eligibility, and the CareerForce location finder lists offices across the state.[46][47] Ask three things: whether you qualify for WIOA training funds, which CDL programs on the list they will pay for, and what paperwork they need before you enroll. Get the answer before you pay a school.

Veterans

Veterans and military drivers in Minnesota

Minnesota military CDL test waivers

Federal rules let a state waive CDL tests for drivers with military commercial vehicle experience.[48] Minnesota offers both waivers. The skills test waiver lets you skip the road test if you held a military license to drive a comparable commercial vehicle for at least two years with a safe driving record. You have to apply within 12 months before or after your separation date.[49] DVS lists a two-year waiver period from July 30 to October 29, 2026. During it, current and former service members may apply within two years of qualifying military employment. After October 29, 2026 the period goes back to 12 months.[50]

The knowledge test waiver is the Even Exchange Program. It is open to listed military driving jobs, including Army 88M, 92F and 14T, Marine Corps 3531, Navy EO, and the Air Force vehicle operator, fueler, and pavement and construction equipment operator specialties. You show a DD-214 or other military document with your job specialty.[50][49]

You apply in person with the Military skills test waiver application, form PS30320 (PDF), signed by your commanding officer. Bring a copy of your military driver's license, a leave and earnings statement or DD-214 showing your separation date, your military ID, and proof of Minnesota residency. DVS's CDL page for military service members lists the steps.[50][49]

GI Bill and VR&E

If you plan to use VA education benefits, check the school first. The VA's GI Bill Comparison Tool lets you look up schools and training programs.[51] Veterans with a service-connected disability can also ask about Veteran Readiness and Employment (Chapter 31).[52] Ask any school whether it is approved for VA benefits before you enroll.

Behind the Wheel

Behind-the-wheel training in Minnesota

For a CDL, passenger or school bus endorsement, theory is only half of ELDT. The range and road training has to be done in a truck or bus with a behind-the-wheel provider that is also listed on the Training Provider Registry.[13] The HazMat endorsement is theory only.[53]

To find one near you, use the FMCSA Training Provider Registry provider search: pick the license or endorsement, choose Behind-the-Wheel, and enter your location.[53] You can take theory from one provider and behind-the-wheel from another.

Common Questions

Minnesota CDL questions

How old do you have to be to get a CDL in Minnesota?

You can get a Minnesota commercial learner's permit and CDL at 18, which lets you drive commercially inside the state. You have to be 21 to drive commercially outside Minnesota.[4][2][5]

How long do I have to hold my Minnesota CDL permit before the road test?

Fourteen calendar days. The permit itself is good for 180 days and can be renewed, but not past one year from the day it was first issued.[4][2]

Can I do my ELDT theory online for a Minnesota CDL?

Yes. ELDT is a federal requirement and Minnesota follows it. The theory has to come from a provider listed on FMCSA's Training Provider Registry, and the federal definition of theory instruction includes online training. Minnesota says you can take the theory at any time, but behind-the-wheel training has to wait until you have your learner's permit.[4][12][15][13]

When are spring load restrictions in Minnesota?

The dates change every year and by zone. MnDOT sets them for six seasonal load limit zones and gives at least three days' notice on its seasonal load limits page and by phone recording. In 2026 the restrictions began March 3 in the Metro, South and Southeast zones and ended May 15 in the North zone.[27]

Can a placarded HazMat truck use the Lowry Hill Tunnel in Minneapolis?

No. The federal route registry lists the Lowry Hill Tunnel on I-94 as restricted for all hazardous materials that require the vehicle to be marked or placarded. Placarded trucks follow the signed HazMat truck routes around the tunnel.[31][23]
