DRIVER REQUIREMENTS:
Parts 383 and 391 of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations contains some requirement that you as a driver must comply with. These requirements are in effect as of July 1, 1987. They are as follows:
POSSESS ONLY ONE LICENSE:
you, as a commercial motor vehicle driver, may not possess more than one motor vehicle operator's license. If you have more than one license, keep the license from your state of residence and return the additional licenses to the states that issued them. DESTROYING a license does not close the record in the state that issued it; you must notify the state, if a multiple license has been lost, stolen, or destroyed, close your record by notifying the state of issuance that you no longer want to be licensed by that state.
NOTIFICATION OF LICENSE SUSPENSION, REVOCATION OR CANCELLATION:
Section 392.42 and 383.33 of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations require that you notify your employer the NEXT BUSINESS DAY of any revocation or suspension of your driver's license. In addition, Section 383.31 requires that any time you violate a state or local traffic law (other than parking) you must report it within 30 days to 1) your employing motor carrier, and 2) the state that issued your license (if the violation occurs in a state other than the one which issued your license). The notification to both the employing carrier and the state must be in writing.
