One of the key restrictions for CLP holders is that they must always be accompanied by a licensed CDL holder in the front seat of the vehicle when driving. This ensures that the CLP holder has proper supervision and guidance while learning.
Many states impose a restriction on CLP holders that limits driving to daylight hours only. This is intended to ensure that the driver has adequate visibility and can receive guidance from a licensed CDL holder during safer driving conditions.
CLP holders are not allowed to transport hazardous materials unless they have passed the appropriate endorsement tests and met additional training and certification requirements. Transporting hazardous materials requires special training and licensing.
CLP holders are restricted from driving certain vehicles unless they have the required endorsements. For example, to drive a vehicle with air brakes or to transport passengers, the appropriate endorsement must be obtained through additional testing.
Before taking the CDL road test, a CLP holder must ensure that they comply with all state-specific driving restrictions. This may include meeting minimum supervised driving hours or other requirements specific to the state.
