Exemption Sought for HM Instructor Experience
William Cole has asked FMCSA for an exemption from the entry-level driver training rule that requires classroom/theory instructors for the hazardous materials (HM) endorsement to have at least two years of driving experience of the same or higher class and/or endorsement level. Mr. Cole says his knowledge of HM safety regulations and HM transport lets him provide the HM theory training without that two-year driving experience. FMCSA is requesting public comment on his exemption request.
