DHL is a global organization that offers express delivery services to more than 220 countries worldwide. DHL hires drivers and couriers on a part-time, full-time and as-needed basis. Becoming a DHL driver requires an application, training and a valid driver’s license for commercial vehicles.

Obtain a Commercial Driver's License

Although CDL licensure requirements vary by state, most states require specialized training, an application, passing a written exam and driving test. Many states also require that you have a learner’s permit approximately two weeks before taking the driving test. After obtaining a CDL license, you are eligible to apply to DHL as a driver.
