Three-day “Help for Truckers Days” event offers multiple services for convenience
Sacramento – The Department of Motor Vehicles will join with the Port of Long Beach to assist commercial drivers in need of a motor carrier permit during a three-day one-stop trucker access event today through December 16.
Se requiere un permiso de autotransportista para varias actividades comerciales y de transporte en California, incluido el transporte de bienes a cambio de una compensación, el transporte con un vehículo comercial que pese más de 10,000 libras y el transporte de materiales peligrosos. Los conductores que operan vehículos que requieren una licencia de conducir comercial necesitan el permiso como prueba de que han registrado su número de identificación de transportista de California en el DMV.
New motor carriers must apply for a permit before they begin operations and can submit the application en línea. Permit renewals must be completed online. During the event, DMV team members will assist permit applicants and answer questions.
This week’s event is hosted by the Port of Long Beach in conjunction with the Transportation Security Administration and the identity certification firm IDEMIA. The event will be held 8:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m., today through Thursday at the Port of Long Beach Terminal Access Center, 1265 Harbor Ave., Long Beach.
Recognizing the importance in delivering essential services and supplies, the DMV has taken several steps to assist commercial drivers. The DMV recently extended commercial driver’s licenses, learner’s permits, endorsements and special certificates expiring between March 2020 and February 2022 through February 28, 2022.
The DMV also is expanding capacity to conduct commercial driving tests. The DMV offers commercial drive tests at 23 locations statewide, including 15 with Saturday appointments. The Department began offering an extra testing day at select locations this year. The DMV is also training more staff to administer the tests and redirecting examiners to the areas of greatest demand to significantly expand testing capacity and appointment availability.
La mayoría de las transacciones del DMV no requieren una visita a una oficina. El DMV recomienda a todos los clientes utilizar sus en línea, servicios virtuales ampliados y otros canales de servicio para completar transacciones, incluso las renovaciones de licencias de conducir y registros de vehículos elegibles. Los clientes también pueden usar el Asesor de Servicio en el sitio web del DMV para completar las transacciones del DMV.
