Summary

FMCSA announces its decision to deny the application from Agri-Tech Aviation requesting an exemption to allow its commercial learner's permit (CLP) holders who have passed the commercial driver's license (CDL) skills test but not yet obtained a CDL license to drive its commercial motor vehicles (CMV) without being accompanied by a CDL holder in the passenger seat. FMCSA analyzed the application and public comments and determined there is insufficient basis to conclude the exemption would likely achieve a level of safety that is equivalent to, or greater than, the level that would be achieved absent such exemption.
