    If I move to North Dakota, how many days do I have before my out-of-state CDL is deemed invalid?

    You have 30 days to apply for a North Dakota CDL. If you don't, your out-of-state CDL will be considered illegal.


    Are there CDL exemptions for North Dakota farmers driving farm equipment?

    Yes, and they are:

    • Any farmer driving a two-axle, tandem axle, or truck-tractor farm vehicle for the purpose of moving farm machinery, produce or farm supplies within 150 miles of his or her farm does not need a CDL.
    • Any farmer transporting hazardous material within 150 miles of his farm does not need a hazardous material endorsement.

    With the allowed hours of service always changing how can I keep pace with what's legal?

    Call the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration at (701)-250-4346.


    How often do I need to get a medical examination?

    You are required by law to be examined every 24 months.


    Are studded tires allowed in North Dakota?

    They are allowed from October 15 to April 15. School buses, however, are allowed to employ studded tires any time of year, as long as they are moving school children.
