Presentation Topics
• Who is AAMVA
• History of CDL Test Revision Process
• Vehicle Inspection
• Basic Control Skills
• Road Test
• Questions
3
Founded in 1933, AAMVA is a voluntary, nonprofit, tax exempt, educational organization. AAMVA represents the state and provincial officials in the United States and Canada who administer and enforce motor vehicle laws.
AAMVA
4
Develops model programs in motor vehicle administration, police traffic services and highway safety. The association serves as an information clearinghouse for these same disciplines, and acts as the international spokesman for these interests.
AAMVA
5
The association's programs encourage uniformity and reciprocity among the states and provinces, and liaisons with other levels of government and the private sector. Its program development and research activities provide guidelines for more effective public service.

Why Update the CDL Tests?
• Over 16 years since the development of the current CDL Testing Program
• States have implemented non-standardized testing practices
7
Concerns with CDL Skills Testing
• Length of time to administer tests• Long waiting periods • Examiner/Test Reliability• Testing standards didn’t reflect training standards • Memorization on vehicle inspection test • Inconsistency in test administration (interstate and
intrastate)• In need of up-dating
8
Concerns with CDL Driver Manual
• Graphics
• New Knowledge Domains
• No major revision since development
• In need of up-dating
9
Concerns with CDL Knowledge Tests
• Problem Questions
• New Knowledge Domains
– Missing critical knowledge domains
• No longer up-to-date if driver manual is revised
10
Overview of the CDL Test Revision Efforts
• Developed in 1989 by the Essex Corporation• AAMVA Test Maintenance Subcommittee (TMS)
– In 1997 decided to revisit/review the CDL skills tests and initiated the
process along with FHWA and NHTSA– Pilot and Field Tests were planned to insure that
non-researched based testing procedures were not mandated by Congress or FHWA
11
Overview of the CDL Test Revision Efforts
• 1997-2001 CDL Industry Forums• 1996-2001 CDL Test Experts Meeting
– The full set of tests are doing what they were designed to do
– Concerns of major revisions– Issue of jurisdictional inconsistencies
• Fall 1999– Issued Request for Proposal – Contractor on board 2000
12
Overview of the CDL Test Revision Efforts
• TEA-21 Legislation
– Required FHWA/OMC to review current CDL knowledge and skills testing procedures to determine if they were an adequate reflection of the knowledge and skills required for CDL drivers.
13
WHO WAS INVOLVED?
• AAMVA’s Test Maintenance Subcommittee • Motor Vehicle Administrators • CDL Coordinators • CDL Test Experts • Industry• Unions• Federal Organizations• Safety Organizations• Law Enforcement• Drivers/Student Drivers
14
Key Dates – CDL Test Revision
• March 2000 - The Scientex Corporation • Research/Development Sessions
– November 2000 - September 2001 (5)– Pilot Test - 2003 (3 sessions, over 130 drivers) – Field Test – 2004 Delaware, New York, Indiana (over 1,000 applicants)
15
Guiding Principles
• Administratively feasible– Administration time constraints– Implementation costs– Some built-in flexibility
• User/Examiner friendly • Functionality• Subjective vs. Objective Scoring
16
CDL TEST SYSTEM EFFORT
• CORE AREAS– Skills Tests
• Vehicle Inspection• Basic Control Skills• Road Test
– Knowledge Tests– Driver Manual– Examiner Manual & Training Materials
17
Vehicle Inspection Test
• Revisions focused on:– Enhancing scoring criteria – Adding scoring criteria for non-fifth wheel
combination vehicles – Enhancing scoring criteria for school busses – Reducing length of test without reducing the
effectiveness of the test (Randomization)
18
VEHICLE INSPECTION
• Three forms (A, B, & C) developed to provide for random sampling
• Includes full vehicle inspection• Core components that all drivers must inspect
– in-cab/engine start– coupling system (combination vehicles only)

Basic Control Skills Test
• Revisions focused on:– Developing real world basic control skills
activities – Bringing basic control skills standards inline
with training standards – Reducing length of test without reducing the
effectiveness of the test
28
BASIC CONTROL SKILLS
• 6 different exercises• More realistic skill exercises • Testing standards more closely resemble job
requirements• Driver must complete exercise as intended
29
EXERCISES IMPLEMENTED
• Straight Line Backing • Offset Back - Left• Offset Back - Right • Conventional Parallel Park• Sight-side Parallel Park• 90° Alley Dock
30
BASIC SKILLS IMPLEMENTATION
• Implementation involves a minimum of 3 exercises
– Straight line backing and
– Offset left or offset right and
– Conventional parallel park or sight-side parallel park or 90° alley dock
31
BASIC SKILLS SCORING
• Actual score is TOTAL OF – LOOKS (AFTER 2 FREE) +– PULLUPS (AFTER 2 FREE) +– ENCROACHMENTS +– FINAL POSITION (IF APPLICABLE) +– INSIDE PARALLEL (IF APPLICABLE) +– INSIDE ALLEY (IF APPLICABLE)
32
BASIC SKILLS SCORING
• PASS/FAIL Scores
– PASSING SCORE IS 12 POINTS OR LESS– PASSING SCORE DOES NOT INCREASE IF
MORE THAN 3 EXERCISES ARE PERFORMED

Benefits
• Tests that meet/exceed federal standards• Flexibility in test administration• Tests that are up-to-date and mirror
current CDL training practices • Tests that are an accurate reflection of
CDL skills
58
Timeline
• AAMVA released the 2005 testing system to all jurisdictions in Jan 06
• FMCSA will begin rule-making procedure on new FMCSA testing regulations
• Implementation window is now - 2011
