Are there specific requirements or criteria that must be met when conducting a road test?
The road test must be conducted using the type of vehicle the motor carrier intends to assign the driver.
In order to pass the road test, the driver must complete the following tasks:
- A pretrip inspection,
- Coupling and uncoupling a combination (if the driver will use such equipment),
- Placing the vehicle in operation,
- Using the vehicle’s controls and emergency equipment,
- Driving in traffic and passing other vehicles,
- Turning,
- Braking and slowing by means other than braking, and
- Backing and parking.
The person who administers the test must rate the driver’s skill in each operation on a road test form and must sign the form. Upon successful completion of a road test, the person administering the test must complete a certificate of road test and give a copy to the driver.
The original or a copy of the certificate must also be kept in the driver’s qualification (DQ) file. The original road test form must be signed by the person who administered the test and must be kept in the DQ file.
