FCSMA Finale Rule on CDL License Testing/Permit Standards
Posted in GA Updates on Wed, Jun 1, 2011
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) has amended
its commercial driver's license (CDL) knowledge and skills testing
standards and established new minimum federal standards for states to
issue the commercial learner's permit (CLP). The final rule
requires that a CLP holder meet virtually the same requirements as
those for a CDL holder, meaning that a driver holding a CLP will be
subject to the same driver disqualification penalties that apply to
a CDL holder. The final rule is effective on July 8, 2011.
