NCDMV expands firefighter class B driver license testing

NCDMV expands firefighter class B driver license testing

The N.C. Division of Motor Vehicles is partnering with local fire departments to provide on-site driver’s license testing for firefighters and first responders who operate heavy emergency vehicles. 

Through NCDMV’s Outreach Scheduling Assistance Program, the Division is bringing testing directly to public-safety agencies to reduce travel and improve access for emergency personnel who need a Class B commercial driver license or Class A non-CDL credential.

“This initiative ensures firefighters and other emergency responders can be quickly licensed to operate lifesaving equipment while continuing to serve their communities,” said Mike Newsome, NCDMV Director of Driver Services.

These sessions will allow local fire departments to schedule group testing on weekends using department vehicles, while DMV examiners handle both written and road tests onsite.
