  2. What is the legal BAC limit for CDL holders operating a commercial motor vehicle?

    Answer: 0.04%

    Answer: Surrender their regular license and maintain only the CDL state license

    Federal law prohibits a person from having more than one driver's license; CDL holders must consolidate to a single license.

    The H endorsement authorizes a CDL holder to transport hazardous materials that require placarding under federal regulations.

    Answer: Using a CMV in the commission of a felony involving a controlled substance

    Using a CMV in the commission of a felony involving manufacturing, distributing, or dispensing a controlled substance results in a lifetime CDL disqualification with no reinstatement.

  6. When a CDL holder's license is suspended in their home state, what happens to their privilege to drive a CMV in other states?

    A CDL suspension in the home state means the driver loses the privilege to operate a CMV in all states due to federal reciprocity requirements.
