Proposed Rule: Minimum Training Requirements for Entry-Level Commercial Motor Vehicle
Proposed Rule: Minimum Training Requirements for Entry-Level Commercial Motor Vehicle Operators
Action:
Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM); request for comments
Summary:
FMCSA proposes to revise the standards for mandatory training requirements for entry-level operators of commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) in interstate operations who are required to possess a commercial driver's license (CDL). The proposed rule would not apply to drivers who currently possess a CDL or obtain a CDL before a date 3 years after a final rule goes into effect. Following that date, persons applying for new or upgraded CDLs would be required to successfully complete specified minimum classroom and behind-the-wheel training from an accredited institution or program.
