Do drivers who have taken road tests in 48-foot trailers need new road tests if a carrier adds 53-foot trailers to the fleet?

Testing a driver who will upgrade to a new vehicle is not spelled out in the regulations. There have been instances of auditors asking to see a second road test when a driver upgrades, but it is not required. As a best practice, however, testing drivers on new vehicles is a smart safety management control.
