This guide has been prepared to assist law enforcement agencies interested in developing traffic enforcement programs focusing on serious moving violations committed by drivers of commercial motor vehicles (CMVs). It was developed to reduce the likelihood of CMV and to reduce the consequences from those that occur. The guide is designed to be used as a workbook, for either classroom or on-the-job training. It contains modules for the user to enter state-specific information, with each chapter having questions at the end to reinforce critical points. The table of contents lists the following subject headings: Commercial Motor Vehicle Enforcement; Commercial Driver's License; Commercial Motor Vehicle Law Enforcement Programs; Judicial Involvement; Targeting Crash-Causing Violations - Speeding, Following Too Closely, Improper Lane Changing, Reckless Driving, Improper Turning, Driving While Impaired, Parking on the Shoulder, Violating Other Commercial Motor Vehicle Laws, Stopping at Railroad Grade Crossings; Commercial Motor Vehicle Stops and Enforcement Considerations.
