For Missouri and Illinois residents, you must be 18 years old before you can obtain your CDL. However, you can drive only within the state until you are 21 years old. You must be 21 for residents of all other states. We recommend talking to your local DMV for laws specific to your state.

If you have the K restriction, it restricts you from driving outside your state lines. If you are coming from somewhere other than Missouri or Illinois you will need to have this removed.
a. Where is it found: You can find this on the front of your permit, usually under or beside the endorsements information.
b. Who to remove it: If you are over 21 you will need to take your medical card to the license office and they will put it in the system. They will then issue you a new permit. This also changes the issue date on your permit, which restarts the 14 day hold.
Per Federal Law, once your permit has been issued, you have to hod it for 14 days before you can perform the skills test. In short, you are not eligible to text until the 15th day after issue date.
