New Jersey has adopted Part 391 of the Federal Regulations with two notable exceptions. The 21-year age requirement applies unless a driver is transporting non-hazardous materials. If this is the case, he must be at least 18 years old.

A driver engaged in intrastate commerce not transporting hazardous materials requiring placards, but who is not physically qualified to drive under Section 391.41 (b), may continue to drive a motor vehicle if the driver has a valid New Jersey CDL as of September 20th, 1993.

Vehicle Marking/Identification:

New Jersey didn’t adopt Sec. 390.21 of the Federal Regulations for intrastate commerce. Every vehicle used for commercial purposes on a street or highway must in plain view display name of the owner or lessee, and the name of the municipality in which the owner or lessee has his principal place of business.
