The **road test certificate** is issued after a successful road test in the equipment type the carrier will assign ([49 CFR 391.31(e)–(g)](https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-49/section-391.31)). The carrier keeps the signed road test form and the original or a copy of the certificate in the qualification file.
