WASHINGTON—FMCSA is seeking public comment on a proposed pilot program that would allow 18-20-year-old, military-trained drivers to drive across state lines. As proposed, the pilot program would not include drivers for passenger and hazardous materials carriers.
FMCSA is seeking comments over the next 60 days, ending September 4. In seeking comments, the Agency is asking the public, and industry stakeholders, to weigh in on whether there are specific criteria that should make a driver or carrier ineligible to participate in the proposed pilot program and whether carriers should be required to inform FMCSA of any information in addition to what is already required. The full notice is available here on the FMCSA website, including a link to a PDF with additional how-to submit details and an explanation of privacy.
