Keeping Driver Records

Filed Under DRIVER QUALIFICATION

Every driver of a commercial motor vehicle is required to have a driver qualification file.  In this file are a variety of documents which demonstrate to the world that this driver is qualified to operate a commercial motor vehicle.  This applies to drivers in interstate commerce (usually meaning crossing state lines) if they operate a vehicle with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of 10,001 lbs. or more.  Want to know more?  The DVD training package, many months in the making, will be available very soon.

    Hi Eric,

    Do you have to have a CDL if you are crossing state lines even if you are below the 26,000 Lbs? Thanks!

    If you are a driving a vehicle with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating under 26,001 lbs., and it is not a passenger vehicle or a Hazardous Materials vehicle, a CDL is not required, even if you cross state lines.
