How Does a Pennsylvania CDL Testing Bond Work? 

As with all surety bonds, a commercial driver license testing bond creates a legal contract between three parties: 

  1. Principal: You, the third-party tester filing the bond
  2. Obligee: The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation requiring the bond
  3. Surety: The provider issuing the bond

This holds you financially responsible for upholding the provisions of 49 CFR 384.228. 

If you break the bond terms, harmed parties can file claims. The surety will pay valid claims up to the bond amount, but you are ultimately responsible for refunding the surety. 

How Do I Renew My Bond?

These bonds expire annually. To renew your commercial driver license testing bond, simply pay your renewal invoice when prompted. 

We’ll begin contacting you by phone and email 90 days before the expiration date.
