    Becoming licensed to drive a commercial motor vehicle is a lengthy process, and at some point you might have questions.

    • Code D: Prosthetic aid
    • Code E: Automatic transmission
    • Code F: Outside mirror
    • Code G: Limited to daylight only
    • Code K: CDL intrastate only
    • Code L: No air brakes
    • Code O: Except tractor trailers

    I refused an alcohol test when I was pulled over last night. I know I wasn't over the limit, but I didn't want to be out-of-service, either―I had a drink or two. What happens now?
