FMCSA grants C.R. England driver training exemption

摘要

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration has granted C.R. England an exemption from atraining rule regarding drivers with a commercial learner's permit. The rule requires drivers with a CLP to be accompanied by a commercial driver's license holder seated in the front seat of the vehicle while undergoing behind-the-wheel training on public roads. With the exemption, a learner's permit holder who has documentation of passing the CDL skills test does not need to havea CDL driver in the front seat. This change would allow CLP holders to drive as part of a team and give them the same flexibility as CDL drivers while they wait to obtain their CDL from their state DMV.
