Federal law allows states the option to waive certain kinds of drivers from the requirement to obtain a CDL. In Wisconsin, the following drivers are not required to hold a CDL: Fire fighters and rescue squad members are not required to hold a CDL to drive properly equipped emergency or fire fighting vehicles.

A CDL allows drivers to get the proper plates and permits to legally operate a snow plow in their town or county.

Pushing snow onto or across roads from private driveways can cause accidents, death, and/or municipal snow plow damage. It is prohibited by Wisconsin Law Statutes 86.01, 86.07, 346.94, and/or 941.03.

There are no state laws that prohibit you from passing a snowplow. However, it is illegal (State Statute 346.915) to follow a snowplow closer than 200 feet upon any highway having the posted speed limit of more than 35 mph if the snowplow is engaged in snow and ice removal.
