Category: Crane Operator FAQ

If the mobile crane is driven on a public road, most states require a Commercial Drivers License (CDL). If the crane is stationary or limited to certain area, such as a construction site, a CDL is often not a requirement.

A CDL is also not a requirement for any of the NCCCO practical exams (cranes are stationary), therefore you do not need a driver’s license to attend American Crane School’s crane operator certification program. However, your current or future employer may require that you have a valid driver’s license as part of their employment process.
