Professional CDL drivers are held to a higher standard than other motorists. They operate larger, heavier vehicles, make decisions that affect public safety, and represent their company every time they get behind the wheel. Because commercial driving carries greater risk and responsibility, CDL drivers must maintain a higher level of knowledge, skill, and professionalism than non-commercial drivers.

That’s why commercial transportation is one of the most highly regulated industries in the country. DOT and FMCSA rules are designed to protect drivers, employers, and the public by setting clear expectations for safety, qualification, and compliance. In this course, you’ll learn where these regulations come from, which ones apply to you, and how to follow them in your daily work.
