Getting drivers on the road faster boosts productivity, says CRST, which was conditionally granted a CDL exemption renewal.
Efforts to codify regulatory flexibility should be applauded, and the FREIGHT Act is no different.
FMCSA has proposed a rule that would force states to stop issuing new, renewing or upgrading CDLs and CLPs, and in some cases even downgrading, for drivers until they complete the return-to-duty process following a positive drug or alcohol test result.
States will soon be able to give would-be drivers more time to get their CDLs at the same time potentially lowering knowledge exam costs.
