Does a receipt to drive issued pursuant to the administrative license revocation (ALR) procedure authorize the continued operation of a CMV when the license surrendered is a CDL?
§383.51 – Disqualifications of Drivers – Alcohol Questions
Guidance Q&A
Question 2:
a. Does a receipt to drive issued pursuant to the administrative license revocation (ALR) procedure authorize the continued operation of a CMV when the license surrendered is a CDL?
b. Does the acceptance of a receipt to drive place the CDL holder in violation of the one driver’s license requirement?
Guidance:
a. Yes. The ALR procedure of taking possession of the driver’s CDL and issuing a receipt to drive or other “temporary license” is valid under part 383. The CDL that is being held by the State is still valid until the ALR period begins.
b. The driver violates no CDL requirements for accepting the receipt which may be used to the extent authorized.
