Mobile Phone Regulations

About the Training

Federal regulations sharply limit how commercial drivers can use a mobile phone behind the wheel. This training breaks down what counts as a handheld violation, what hands-free use is still allowed, and the penalties — including CDL disqualification — that follow a citation.

What You'll Learn

  • Explain the federal restrictions on mobile telephone use under 49 CFR §392.82
  • Distinguish between permitted hands-free use and prohibited handheld use
  • Identify the fines and disqualification penalties tied to mobile phone violations
  • Describe how to set up the cab so the phone is reachable only when stopped
