Citation Case Reference Number

Citation CDL Holder Indicator

Source of Definition: MCSIA; 49 CFR 383

Source of Data: State of conviction

A code determining whether or not the driver held a CLP/CDL at the time of the citation - if yes, then the conviction is subject to federal CDL regulations [49 CFR 383.51].

A CDL holder is one whose last jurisdiction-issued license was a CDL. This applies even if:

  • The driver's commercial privileges are withdrawn (even if the jurisdiction issues a non-CDL hardship license for the defined period of the suspension of the commercial privileges).
  • The CDL has expired and no other license has been issued.

A CLP holder is one who held a valid (unexpired) CLP at the time of citation.

For a driver to be considered a non-CDL holder, either the driver or the SDLA must take some explicit action.

A CDL holder becomes a non-CDL holder when (1) he/she voluntarily surrenders his/her CDL, or (2) the SDLA downgrades the CDL to a non-CDL.
