    Commercial Driver's License Document

    Commercial Driver's License Document

    A State determines the license fee, the license renewal cycle, most renewal procedures, and continues to decide the age, medical and other driver qualifications of its intrastate commercial drivers. Interstate drivers must meet the longstanding Federal driver qualifications (49 CFR 391).

    All CDLs must contain the following information:

    * The words "Commercial Driver's License" or "CDL;"
    * The driver's full name, signature, and address;
    * The driver's date of birth, sex, and height
    * Color photograph or digitized image of the driver;
    * The driver's State license number;
    * The name of the issuing State;
    * The date of issuance and the date of the expiration of the license;
    * The class(es) of vehicle that the driver is authorized to drive;
    * Notation of the "air brake" restriction, if issued;
    * The endorsement(s) for which the driver has qualified;

    States may issue learner's permits for purposes of behind-the-wheel training on public highways as long as learner's permit holders are required to be accompanied by someone with a valid CDL appropriate for that vehicle and the learner's permits are issued for limited time periods.

    Car Sales Boom


    JUST days into the new cash for scrap initiative, we are already hearing great
    news from the front line.

    Dealers across the country told us motorists were pouring through the doors, eager to trade in their bangers for the latest forecourt-fresh models.

    One Suzuki, Honda and Mitsubishi dealer network John Banks Group in East Anglia reported that a Fiat van owner jumped at the chance of swapping his £100 banger for a £2,000 new car voucher.

    Evans Halshaw Vauxhall in Hull, meanwhile, claims its seen the highest level of enquiries are in the past 12 months.

    Meanwhile, Nigel Falkiner, marketing director at the Sandicliffe Group in the East Midlands, added: New is outselling used, and thats never happened before. And Darren Robins, sales manager at Marshall Ford, Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, said: Its made a huge difference. The level of enquiries is right up.

    "We have sold larger vehicles.But mostly the buyers are interested in two models the new Fiesta and Ka ".

    COMMERCIAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY ACT OF 1986

    The Commercial Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1986 was signed into law on October 27, 1986. The goal of the Act is to improve highway safety by ensuring that drivers of large trucks and buses are qualified to operate those vehicles and to remove unsafe and unqualified drivers from the highways. The Act retained the State's right to issue a driver's license, but established minimum national standards which States must meet when licensing CMV drivers.

    The Act corrects the situation that existed prior to 1986 by making it illegal to hold more than one license and by requiring States to adopt testing and licensing standards for truck and bus drivers to check a person's ability to operate the type of vehicle he/she plans to operate.

    It is important to note that the Act does not require drivers to obtain a separate Federal license; it merely requires States to upgrade their existing testing and licensing programs, if necessary, to conform with the Federal minimum standards.

    The CDL program places requirements on the CMV driver, the employing motor carrier and the States.

    Safety First With Motor Fuels

    1. Remember: Never swallow any type of motor fuel!

    2. Gasoline and diesel fuels are poisonous to swallow and also are flammable. Great care must be used to avoid accidental fire.

    3. All types of motor fuel can kill you or make you sick if you swallow even small amounts.

    4. Ethanol fuel is "denatured." That means poison is added to stop people from drinking it. Ethanol is flammable and care must be used to avoid accidental fire.

    5. Even a small amount of methanol can make you very sick or even kill you. Methanol is flammable and care must be used to avoid accidental fire.

    6. Compressed natural gas (CNG) is kept under high pressure. Accidentally releasing that pressure can be dangerous. Natural gas is flammable and care must be used to avoid accidental fire.

    7. Electricity can electrocute people if they touch live wires.

    8. Compressed hydrogen is under high pressure, and, as with compressed natural gas, care must be taken to avoid accidental release. Liquefied hydrogen is very cold and can injure by freezing. Hydrogen is flammable and care must be used to avoid accidental fire.

    9. Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is very cold and can injure by freezing. Natural gas is flammable and care must be used to avoid accidental fire.

    10. Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) or propane is kept under low pressure. Accidentally releasing that pressure can be dangerous. Liquefied petroleum gas is flammable and care must be used to avoid accidental fire.

    11. Biodiesel made from vegetable oil is not safe to drink. Biodiesel is also flammable and care must be used to avoid accidental fire.

    NHTSA Brake Performance Characterization Project - Research Summary

    The Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Center for Transportation Analysis (CTA) has, for the past five years, conducted a significant amount of heavy truck research under its Heavy truck Safety Program. This research has included:

    * Heavy Truck/Infrastructure Crash Modeling
    * Heavy Truck Dynamics Modeling with Emphasis on Braking
    * The Role of Heavy Trucks in Emergency Evacuation
    * Photonics for Heavy Truck Safety
    * Truck Rollover Characterization
    * Characterization of Friction Performance of Aftermarket Brake Linings

    Because of this strong emphasis in heavy truck safety, the National Transportation Research Center, Inc. (NTRCI) selected CTA to conduct a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) study of brake performance of OE and AM brake linings. An important and unique distinction of this research was that brake performance would be evaluated within three distinctive research domains; laboratory, test-track, and field test. In addition, ORNL was to look at the performance in these domains to see if a correlation exists between them. Please note that with regard to these three domains, face validity increases from laboratory to field-test, but so does the complexity in controlling the study variables.

    Heavy Truck Brake Lining Performance Characterization - Original Equipment vs. Aftermarket Linings

    Introduction

    The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reported that in 2004, 416,000 large trucks were involved in traffic crashes in the U.S., that a total of 5,190 people died (12% of all the traffic fatalities reported in 2004) and an additional 116,000 were injured in those crashes. One out of eight traffic fatalities in 2004 resulted from a collision involving a large truck. In a widely cited study by Jones and Stein (Jones I. and H. Stein, Defective Equipment and Tractor-Trailer Crash Involvement. Accident Analysis and Prevention 21:469-81, 1989), it was reported that brake defects were quite common and were found in 56% of the tractor-trailers involved in crashes. In the more recent Large Truck Crash Causation Study sponsored by DOT, it was concluded that 29.4% of all large truck crashes involved brake failure, brakes out of adjustment, or other brake related issues.

    Compounding the brake defects issue even more is the fact that although original equipment (OE) brakes must comply with federal motor vehicle safety standards which specify maximum stopping distances according to vehicle weight, loading, pedal effort (with and without power assistance) and brake condition (green and burnished linings), there are no federal performance standards for aftermarket (AM) brake linings. It is typically assumed that replacement AM brake linings perform the same as or better than the OE brake linings on a vehicle. Unfortunately, there is currently no methodology or rating system available that can assure OE-equivalent brake performance from AM brake linings.
