Maine waives commercial driver license testing based on your military driving experience. Under the even exchange option, both the knowledge and skills tests are waived if you worked in the past year in one of these specialties: Army 88M, 92F or 14T; Air Force 2T1, 2F0 or 3E2; Marine Corps 3531; or Navy EO. If you have military commercial driving experience without one of those specialties, the skills test alone is waived when you have been licensed for at least two years on a military vehicle similar to the class you want. School bus and passenger endorsements cannot be transferred either way.
Submit the Maine Application for Military CDL Test Waiver, including certification by your commanding officer, to Maine Bureau of Motor Vehicles, CDL Compliance Unit, 29 State House Station, Augusta ME 04333-0029, by fax to 207-624-9339, or by email to cdlcompliance.BMV@maine.gov. For questions call the CDL Examination Section at 207-624-9000 extension 52122.
The completed waiver application certified by your commanding officer, and documentation of your military occupational specialty or of your two years licensed on a similar military vehicle.
