What is a qualified driver on a film set?
Updated June 2026 · Revolution Picture Cars
A qualified driver on a film set is a licensed, vetted professional who has been cleared to operate picture vehicles on or in transit to the production location.
Qualification requirements vary by jurisdiction, vehicle type, and union contract. Under most Teamsters agreements, qualified drivers hold a commercial driver's license (CDL) with appropriate endorsements. Stunt drivers require additional certification and coordination with the stunt department and safety supervisor. Only qualified drivers may move picture cars into, through, or between set positions.
