Having a normal driving license for a year before getting a CDL class A. Missouri?

Do I need to hold a normal driving license for a certain period of time before I can get a CDL class A?
I noticed that it's a year in some states.
Is that the case in all states?
Is that the case in Missouri?

(I posted this in the CDL section too. I did it in case some posters only browse one of the sections. I wanted to get the most amount of information as I could. I can remove it if it's breaking any of the rules)
Thanks in advance for taking the time to respond!

 

My understanding owner operator friend of mine based in Missouri is that you have to have current Missouri driver's license and be a current Missouri resident to obtain a CDL. There are no restrictions on how long you have to have a regular license.

 

That's great to know.
Pesky states requiring people to wait a year before they can get a CDL.
People are just going to hop over to the closest state that doesn't have the one year waiting time.

 

Yes. If I needed a CDL from a different state I would rent a cheap apartment on a month-to-month basis to establish my residency and go get my CDL. In Texas they can't give them away fast enough. All you have to do is take the written test and schedule the driving test. Then you just show up in a truck that is capable of the license that you want and you're done. Super simple. No need for a permit or training.

 

The requirement for some to wait is actually for the driver to be 21 years old. The HazMat endorsement requires the driver to be 21. Otherwise anyone can drive a commercial truck (in some states) as early as 16 years of age.

Otherwise no, there generally is no requirement of 4 wheeler licensing
