FMCSA seeks renewal of LCV driver training certification paperwork rules

🇬🇧 English

This notice asks for approval to keep in place the paperwork and recordkeeping rules for drivers of longer combination vehicles (LCVs), which are heavy truck-trailer combinations used on interstate highways. Motor carriers must make sure LCV drivers are trained, keep a copy of each driver’s training certificate, and show it to officials if asked. For carriers and training providers, the practical issue is compliance: the rule does not create a new training mandate, but it renews the government’s authority to collect and review this information. FMCSA also says the expected paperwork burden will rise slightly, so companies should expect the same certification process to continue through the next approval period.
