I have been with the CDL program since late 1980s/early 1990s. I sincerely hope
(and suggest) that FMCSA does NOT entwine training and testing. If an applicant
from StateA gets issued a permit, then goes for training in StateB - testing should
occur in whichever state that applicant is domiciled in. The state that issues the
license initially should be the one to test.
If this does not occur, StateB (where the training and testing occurs) may not have
access to re-test individuals as part of the CDL Compliance requirements.
This is a serious issue for states that depend totally on third party testing.
In addition - schools that provide training should not be doing the testing. So what
is the point of this part of the regulation?
