Maryland Commercial Driver’s License Manual baixar o livro de graça

Foreword

In 1986, the Congress of the United States passed the Commercial Motor Vehicle Safety Act. This Act requires the states to adopt uniform minimum licensing and testing standards for drivers of commercial motor vehicles. By April 1, 1992, all drivers of commercial vehicles needed a Commercial Driver’s License. Maryland’s Commercial Driver’s License Program became effective January 1, 1990. This was the beginning of a new era that resulted in each commercial driver being looked upon as a professional.

A “Commercial Motor Vehicle” means a motor vehicle or combination of motor vehicles used to transport passengers or cargo if the vehicle fits any of the following conditions:

• Any combination of vehicles with a Gross Combination Weight Rating (GCWR) of 26,001 or more pounds.
• A vehicle with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of 26,001 or more pounds. (GVWR for a single vehicle or GCWR for a combination of vehicles means: The value specified by the manufacturer as the maximum gross weight.)
• Any vehicle which is designed to transport 16 or more passengers, including the driver.
• A vehicle of any size which transports hazardous materials, which requires placarding

Note: Gross Combination Weight Rating (GCWR) and Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) means the value specified by the manufacturer. This is determined from the manufacture plate on the vehicle/trailer.

Each driver applicant must possess and be tested on his/her knowledge and skills for the commercial motor vehicle for which he/she desires a commercial driver’s license, and obtain the appropriate endorsement(s) where required.
