Commercial Driver's License 

The CDL Resource Center is designed specifically for prosecutors handling cases involving commercial drivers and motor carriers. Here you’ll find practical tools, legal guidance, and up-to-date resources to support the fair and effective enforcement of CDL-related laws. By strengthening prosecution in this area, we help ensure accountability, protect victims, and promote safer roadways for every community.

Among the resources available below are NTLC’s CDL Monographs - comprehensive guides addressing critical issues such as masking, disqualifications, and federal motor carrier safety regulations. These monographs provide in-depth analysis, case law, and practical strategies for prosecutors navigating the unique complexities of CDL cases.

You’ll also find past issues of NTLC's Between the Lines Newsletter focused on CDL-related topics. These articles highlight case law updates, legislative changes, and best practices, keeping prosecutors informed of emerging trends and challenges in commercial driver enforcement.
