They are on their cell phones talking to family and friends while doing processing your papers. They don't even talk to the customers and make a lot of mistakes.

If you hold a Commercial Driver's License, your renewal notice should state whether or not you need to take a knowledge exam to complete the renewal process. You may also be required to take a vision test. To make your trip to the DMV quicker, start the application to renew your Commercial Driver's License online at the California DMV website and then visit the DMV in person to submit your required materials.
