The CDL-10 form is an essential document for drivers seeking certification of physical exemption under specific federal regulations, specifically 49 CFR Parts 391/390. This detailed form, updated most recently in November 2014, mandates thorough completion in ink and seeks to verify the exemption status of drivers from the federal physical standards while still adhering to the Texas medical standards for driver licensing. It requires applicants to provide personal information, including their name, date of birth, driver's license number, and social security number. The form carefully outlines various categories under which a commercial motor vehicle (CMV) driver may claim exemption from the standard federal physical requirements, including duties like school bus operation, transportation tasks performed by government or related entities, and the transportation of human corpses or sick and injured persons, among others. Each category comes with specific restrictions and, in some cases, the need for an annual physical examination. For instance, school bus drivers must pass a physical examination annually as required by the Texas Transportation Code. By signing the CDL-10 form, the applicant not only acknowledges their exemption in certain capacities but also attests to meeting the broader qualifications for operating a commercial vehicle under Texas law and the narrower federal exemptions. The form also stipulates the necessity for a notary public or an authorized officer to witness the signature, ensuring the document’s validity, and outlines the enforcement of license restrictions based on the exemption categories checked by the applicant.
