another state will be able to waive the skills (driving)
test when applying for a Nebraska CDL. If the CDL is
expired in the other state, the applicant must take all
written tests; however, the skills (driving) test is not
required unless the out of state license is 1 year

accompanied by a Seasonal Permit (SEP), allows persons 18
years of age or older to drive Class "B" or "C"
commercial motor vehicles for purposes of farm related or
ranch related service industries within 150 miles of the
employer's place of business or the farm or ranch

prior to application. No knowledge or skills tests are

A RCDL and a SEP. Individuals may operate commercial
motor vehicles when both documents are valid. Individuals
may operate a car when the RCDL is valid without the SEP.
