§31303 Notification Requirements

Summary

If you drive a commercial motor vehicle and have a State driver’s license, you must tell your employer if you break a traffic law (not a parking ticket). If the ticket happened in a different State than the one that issued your license, you also must tell a State official chosen by the State that gave you the license. You must make these reports within 30 days after you are found to have committed the violation. If your license is revoked, suspended, or canceled, if you lose the right to drive a commercial motor vehicle, or if you are disqualified from driving, you must tell your employer within 30 days of that action. When you apply for a job driving a commercial motor vehicle, you must tell the prospective employer about any past work driving such vehicles. The Secretary of Transportation will set how many years back you must report, but it cannot be less than the 10-year period ending on the application date.
