The CDL regulations apply to anyone driving a commercial motor vehicle as defined in 383.5 on a roadway that is open to public travel.
This means that mechanics, yard jockeys, supervisors, occasional drivers, or others operating CMVs on public roadways are required to have a CDL. Sometimes there is confusion as to who falls under Part 383, espcecially when the driver does not operate under an actual motor carrier or motorcoach operation. The following entities are not exempt:
- School bus, church bus, and van pool drivers operating vehicles designed to transport 16 or more passengers. This includes the operation of a vehicle from manufacturer to the distributor.
- State, county, and municipal employees, unless driving exempt emergency vehicles.
- Motorized cranes and vehicles used to pump cement at construction sites, because these vehicles are designed for highway use.
- Student drivers attending a driver training school.
- Civilian operators of vehicles operating within a military facility that is open to public travel.
- Other vehicles that the state has decided requires a CDL.
