White Enhances Customer Service for CDL Applicants with "Illinois Fast
Pass" Program
Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White announced today that effective
June 2, 2008 CDL applicants may schedule their pre-trip, skills and road
exams online at www.cyberdriveillinois.com. The new "Illinois Fast Pass"
program takes residents just a few minutes to schedule appointments online
for CDL testing purposes at the CDL facility of their choice.
"Illinois Fast Pass improves customer service for our state’s CDL
applicants through the use of technology," said White. "It can be accessed
24 hours a day, seven days a week and makes scheduling CDL appointments
quick and convenient."
CDL applicants may still schedule appointments by calling 217-785-3013
from 8:00 am to 4:30 pm.
The Illinois Fast Pass program is one more in a series of improvements
White has made to the state’s CDL program since he took office in 1999.
Other key improvements include, but are not limited to:
Requiring out-of-state CDL holders to retake and pass both
the road and written exams before they may be issued an Illinois
CDL;
Installing automated testing machines to prohibit cheating on
or memorization of the written test;
Ensuring CDL applicants have the necessary reading
comprehension skills to do their job safely by prohibiting
interpreters or any form of assistance in reading CDL
applications or CDL tests;
Providing the CDL tests in English only;
Enacting a three-fail rule ending the policy that allowed
unqualified drivers infinite chances to pass the CDL test.
