REQUIREMENTS OVERVIEWVermont CDL Class B requirements
Requirements depend on the applicant and can change. Verify each item with the cited agency.

Vermont CLP applicants and CDL drivers
The saved Vermont Class B bank records age 18 as the minimum for a CLP and intrastate CDL operation, while interstate commercial motor vehicle operation requires age 21.
documents
Vermont Class B drivers transporting hazardous materials when that endorsement and operation apply
The saved bank states that hazardous-materials rules use documents and standardized hazard communication such as shipping papers, markings, labels, and placards to identify hazards and support safe handling.
tests
First-time Vermont Class B CDL applicants
The saved bank states that applicable Entry-Level Driver Training must be completed through a registered provider before the Class B CDL skills exam.
passing
Vermont Class B CDL applicants completing the licensing process
Practice-bank performance does not satisfy Vermont licensing requirements; applicants must successfully complete the state testing required for the credential and any endorsements they seek.
applicability
Drivers seeking Vermont Class B authority
The saved bank defines Class B around a single vehicle with a GVWR of 26,001 pounds or more; Class A combination-vehicle authority and specialized endorsement requirements are separate.
applicability
Vermont Commercial Learner’s Permit holders
The saved bank states that a Vermont CLP must be held for at least 14 days before the holder can obtain a CDL.
applicability
Vermont Class B applicants studying specialized operations
Hazardous-materials, tank, passenger, and school-bus material in this mixed bank is conditional on the vehicle, cargo, or passenger operation; the bank does not present every endorsement as mandatory for every Class B driver.
