What is the Commercial Driver's License (CDL) law in Kentucky?

 

A: In brief, Kentucky's CDL licensing law is consistent with many other States.  The Kentucky Department of Transportation has recently updated these laws which apply primarily to those individuals who operate commercial vehicles such as tractor-trailers and school buses.

New federal standards are now law in Kentucky. These minimum standards will guarantee the fitness of commercial motor vehicle operators by requiring demonstrated ability to drive heavy vehicles before a license is issued. A new license, called the Commercial Driver License (CDL), has replaced what was known as a chauffeur license for many Kentucky drivers. The CDL laws and standards cover drivers in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Mexico and Canada. Motor Carriers will be held responsible if their drivers operate a commercial motor vehicle without a valid CDL.
