Summary

FMCSA requests public comment on PAM Transport Inc.'s (PAM) application for an exemption from the requirement that a holder of a commercial learner's permit (CLP) who has successfully passed the commercial driver's license (CDL) skills test but not yet been issued CDL credentials be accompanied by a CDL holder in the front seat, while the commercial motor vehicle (CMV) is driven by the CLP holder. PAM states that the CDL holder would remain in the CMV while the CLP holder is driving, but not necessarily in the passenger seat of the vehicle. FMCSA is required by statute to publish a notice explaining each exemption request. This notice does not indicate what decision FMCSA will ultimately reach on the request. After reviewing the application, safety analyses, and public comments submitted, FMCSA will grant or deny the exemption.
