Federal
Commercial driver regulations are published by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration: fmcsa.dot.gov. Federal commercial driver licence standards are in 49 CFR Part 383.
State CDL manuals
The app downloads each state's CDL manual directly from that state's own licensing agency, at the addresses below. Nothing is re-hosted or modified — what you read in the app is the file the agency published.
