Can you help me understand my CDL A?

do you wear glasses? did you get certified on a automatic trans?

 

I have to ask,what's an enhanced CDL A since you don't have any endorsements on it?

 

I have to guess that it is a typo, and it should be CA which is the typical Michigan classification for a CDL- A license. The "E" is obviously for enhanced. There doesn't appear to be any reference in the documentation for "OA" unless they've changed it to mean "Operator A"....which I doubt, but can't rule out.

Just check with the DMV tomorrow and be done with it. They may have to reissue you a license with the corrected Initials.

Thank you,i've never heard it called that before.

 

i too got the enhanced license. Its great because I live in a border community in canada and frequent into the US on numerous occasions for gas and groceries. 45$ cheaper then getting a passport.

 

You live in my old stomping grounds.

I stand corrected. Apparently it does stand for Operator...but that is not a CDL License.

It's not a typo, if you are in a Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL) program.

Then you are 17/18, E = Taxi and livery, O = Operator A= reserved for 21 and older Commercial Driver License, but 18 can apply for B/C classes restricted to 26,000 lbs.

Honestly it sounds like a system that is totally new (and totally confusing) to me.

I just found it, and apparently License Type: E,OA has no meaning to me because,....I suspect.....and you need to check this out, that you are qualified for a State (intrastate) License for vehicles shy of a Federal Commercial Driver License class vehicle.

Don't quote me, check with DMV or in our case SOS (Secretary of State) to see if I'm right, or if this is some kind of new State program that I'm totally unfamiliar with regarding some kind of CDL Driver Permit stuff.

Good Luck
