58 <br /> <br />Persons Subject to Testing & Types of Tests <br />All employees are subject to testing who job duties include performing “safety-sensitive duties” <br />on City vehicles that: <br />1. Have a gross combination weight rating or gross combination weight of 26,001 pounds <br />or more, whichever is greater, inclusive of a towed unit(s) with a gross vehicle weight <br />rating or gross vehicle weight of more than 10,000 pounds, whichever is greater; or <br />2. Have a gross vehicle weight rating or gross vehicle weight of 26,0001 or more pounds <br />whichever is greater; or <br />3.

Since the state of <br />Minnesota is one that gives firefighters the option of obtaining either a CDL or a non- <br />commercial license, the state has exercised the option not to require CDLs.
