I have a passport so it isn't a personal issue, but I am trying to figure out how it will impact getting GL stuff shipped off bases either by LTL carriers or truckers lined up through a broker. I'll keep working it and post any answers I find.Honestly man, the best thing to do is contact the Provost Marshall/Installation Access office for wherever you are going and ask them specifically. Make sure you get their name/title/position so if you show up and get told no you can at least take someone else down with you! hahaha.
Edit: So I called FBNC Provost Marshall. Basically, if you are a US Citizen, not a veteran (retiree, CAC, [VA ID Card-Maybe]), and not a Tribal member, the ID you need is a Passport or a Passport Card.
Officially, it's based off the same list as the TSA Provides here: https://www.tsa.gov/travel/security-screening/identification
It does not look like the CDL provides any extra clearance, but the enhanced license should work. The problem is not very many states offer them.
From DMV.org
Currently, only Washington State, Vermont, New York, and Michigan are fully up and running with EDLs. However, Arizona, Texas, and California are making progress with their programs, too. Like PASS Cards, EDLs are only accepted at land and sea border crossings, not for air travel. The license contains radio-frequency microchipping that uniquely identifies you in CBP databases, which should promote a more expeditious cross. Enhanced driver's licenses will be approved forms of identification, in full compliance with the new WHTI security measures.
Specifics
- Same as your driver license, with enhanced security features.
- Currently only available in Washington State, Vermont, Michigan, Minnesota, and New York.
- Approved for border crossing by land or sea, not by air.
