    Sorry if these seem obvious, but I just wanted some clarification on these questions asking about my CDL school I attended...


    Did you perform any safety sensitive functions at this truck school, regulated by DOT, and subject to drug and alcohol testing? Yes/No

    What does this mean? Safety sensitive functions regulated by DOT? I got my DOT physical and permit, pretripped and drove a truck etc, but is this asking something else specific which I dont understand?

    Were you subject to the Federal Motor Carrier or Transport Canada Safety Regulations while attending this truck school? Yes/No

    We obeyed laws etc... but again, is this something weird/specific its asking me that I was subjected to, or am I just being an idiot here?

    Do I just say yes to both?

    Yes. Everything you do pertaining to trucking somehow involves safety. And at any job you re subject to a drug test at anytime.

    Yes. If you logged driving, pre trips/post trips, fueling, and took 30 minute breaks which all fall under FMCSA rules and regulations then you would of course check yes.

    I can see why the question would be confusing to a newcomer, but I have to ask why this wouldn't be the case if you are going to truck driving school? Sounds like a redundant or trick question to me.
