What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Wisconsin lets approved third parties administer the CDL skills test on the state's behalf through the Department of Transportation, under the third-party testing program in Wis. Admin. Code Trans 115. A testing company files a $25,000 bond on form MV3540 as part of its testing-company agreement.
The bond guarantees the cost of retesting drivers if the testing company or one of its examiners is involved in fraudulent activity connected with CDL skills testing. It protects the state and the testing program — not the tester.
The bond is continuous and the surety's aggregate liability does not exceed the $25,000 face amount regardless of how many years it stays in force. If the surety pays a valid claim, you repay the surety. We track the bond and notify you ahead of expiration so your DOT agreement stays in good standing.
