    Federal regulations require CDL holders to notify their employer within 1 business day of a DUI or drug/alcohol-related arrest, not just a conviction.

  2. Which of the following vehicles would require the driver to hold a Class C CDL?

    Answer: A placard-required hazardous materials vehicle under 26,001 lbs GVWR

    Class C CDL is required for vehicles under 26,001 lbs GVWR that transport hazardous materials requiring placards or are designed to carry 16 or more occupants.

  3. What must a CDL holder do if their medical certificate expires while they are still employed as a commercial driver?

    Answer: Notify employer and stop driving CMVs until recertified

    Once a medical certificate expires, the driver is medically unqualified and must stop operating CMVs and notify their employer immediately.

  4. The 'serious traffic violation' category for CDL disqualification purposes includes which of the following offenses?

    Answer: Speeding 15 mph or more over the posted limit in a CMV

    Speeding 15 mph or more over the limit while operating a CMV is classified as a serious traffic violation, which can lead to CDL disqualification.

  5. Florida's CDL program requires applicants to pass a knowledge test for each endorsement they seek. Which endorsement also requires a separate skills (driving) test?

    Answer: P (Passenger)

    The P (Passenger) endorsement requires both a written knowledge test and a skills (driving) test, as does the S (School Bus) endorsement.

  6. A CDL holder convicted of two serious traffic violations within three years will face a CDL disqualification of:

    Answer: 60 days

    Two serious traffic violations within a three-year period result in a 60-day CDL disqualification under federal and Florida regulations.

  7. Under what circumstance may a Florida CDL be downgraded to a Class E (regular) license by the FLHSMV?

    Answer: Driver fails to maintain required medical certification

    Failure to maintain current medical certification results in the FLHSMV downgrading the CDL to a non-commercial Class E license.
