What the CDL tester bond actually covers
North Dakota lets approved third-party programs administer the commercial driver license (CDL) skills test on the state's behalf — the vehicle inspection, basic control skills, and road test. NDDOT monitors these programs under 49 CFR 383.75 and N.D.C.C. 39-06.2-07, and applicants file on form SFN 61560.
Federal and state rules require third-party programs to be bonded so the state can recover the cost of re-testing every driver if it turns out the program administered tests improperly. The bond protects the public and the state — not the program — against fraudulent or negligent testing.
The exact bond amount comes from your NDDOT agreement rather than a single published statutory figure, so it varies by program. Enter the figure NDDOT gave you — or send us your agreement and we'll confirm it — and we issue the bond at a flat 3% with no credit check.
