The Indiana BMV will waive the skills test for a commercial driver licence if you have military commercial driving training and experience on a vehicle similar to the class you are applying for. You still take the required written tests.
Visit a BMV branch, pass the required written tests and get an Indiana Commercial Learner Permit, then submit the Application for Military CDL Skills Test Waiver by fax to 317-974-1615, at any BMV branch, or by mail to Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles, Attn: CDL Programs, 100 North Senate Avenue, IGCN Room N 481, Indianapolis IN 46204.
The waiver application signed by your commanding officer or a member of your chain of command verifying your military driving experience. If you are a veteran, add your DD214 and a letter from your former commander confirming at least one year of commercial motor vehicle experience before discharge. If you are still serving, add proof of current duty status and a copy of your military vehicle operator licence.
