Driving for Commercial Reasons
In Mississippi, you need a commercial driver's license (CDL) to operate vehicles used for commercial reasons, including:
- Buses
- Shuttles
- Taxis
- Limousines
The type of vehicle you want to drive determines the class of CDL you need. Mississippi's commercial driver's handbook, the "Professional Driver's Handbook," explains these classes and application procedures at length. Pick one up at your local driver license location.
Before you head out the door, check out DMV.ORG's Commercial Drivers section, which:
- Explains the various CDL classes and walks you through the process of applying for a CDL in Mississippi. You'll also find information on obtaining the endorsements listed above.
- Helps you find commercial driver education.
- Answers the most frequently asked questions about Mississippi CDLs.
Sports Vehicles
Motorcycles
You must get a motorcycle endorsement on your regular Class R driver's license and be at least 17 years old to operate a motorcycle in Mississippi.
For details, and information about safety courses and helmet laws, refer to DMV.ORG's Motorcycle License section.
Scooters and Mopeds
You need a motorcycle endorsement on your regular Class R driver's license to operate scooters and mopeds, too.
Our Motorcycle License section explains how to get a motorcycle endorsement, while our Other Types section explains how to title and register scooters and mopeds in Mississippi.
ATVs
You don't need a special license or endorsement to operate an all-terrain vehicle (ATV) in Mississippi; however, if you plan to operate an ATV on property other than your own, it's best to contact your local driver license location or law enforcement agency for details about age requirements.
