FMCSA Waiver of “Under the Hood” CDL Testing Requirements
We are now in the heart of the 2021-2022 school year, and contractors are continuing to face the harsh reality of the nationwide driver shortage.

On January 3, 2022, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Association (FMCSA) published a “Waiver of Certain Pre-Trip inspection Skills Test Requirements”, waiving the “under the hood” testing requirements and effectively creating a “school bus only” CDL. The states of NJ, TX, OK, MD, KS, ME, and WI have already implemented use of this waiver.
