# Do I need a Commercial Drivers License (CDL)? Does DRAIVER reimburse for the cost of obtaining a CDL?

## You do not need a CDL for most trips on the DRAIVER platform.

 A CDL is only required for vehicles requiring a CDL license.

The choice to obtain a CDL is a personal decision and is not required to use the  DRAIVER App as a contract driver. If you choose to obtain a CDL it is at your expense.
