Commercial Drivers (FMCSA)

When it goes wrong — and the working driver

Every chapter so far has told you what to do. This one tells you what happens when it is not done, what the rules deliberately leave to you and the people you work for, and how to keep the whole thing current — and then hands the four questions Chapter 1 opened with back to you, from the seat.

In this chapter

  • What disqualifies a driver, for how long, and why a conviction in your own car can still cost you the license
  • What the rules protect you FROM — falsification, coercion, and harassment — and what they leave to you and your employer
  • How to keep a rulebook current when the text in front of you may not be the text in force
