limited driving privilege for commercial drivers license (CDL)

In some instances, a person who loses his/her general driving privileges may apply for the issuance of a limited driving privilege (LDP), also commonly known as a “hardship” license. This limited driving privilege would allow a person to legally drive a noncommercial vehicle under very specific circumstances.

However, Missouri law prohibits the issuance of a limited driving privilege (LDP) to a person whose commercial driving privileges are disqualified. A commercial driver’s license (CDL) holder whose general driving privileges have been suspended or revoked for actions occurring in a noncommercial vehicle may apply for a limited privilege to operate only a commercial vehicle.

There are specific conditions that allow a state to refuse to issue a probationary license to a CDL holder, which would permit the driver to operate a commercial vehicle. Our lawyers have years of experience in criminal and traffic law. We can help you apply for the issuance of a limited driving privilege for your CDL privileges and protect your source of income.
