FMCSA Proposes Fees for Commercial Driver License Database
/ 1 min read
Table of Contents
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration has published a proposed rule to set fees for using the Commercial Driver License Information System, or CDLIS. This is a nationwide database that state licensing offices use to check whether a commercial driver holds only one license and to track driving records across state lines.
Why it matters: The practical effect is mostly administrative. State licensing offices and the contractors who maintain CDLIS will need to adjust their billing and accounting procedures to match the new fee schedule. Commercial drivers and trucking companies will not see a direct change in their licenses or daily operations, though the underlying database that tracks their records will continue to be funded through these user fees.
