Washington – Today, in response to U.S. Department of Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy's announcement of measures to increase enforcement actions against non-domiciled CDL holders, American Trucking Associations President & CEO Chris Spear issued this statement:
“ATA supports steps to strengthen credentialing standards and ensure that non-domiciled CDL holders have and maintain the proper authorization and qualifications required under federal law. Rules only work when they are consistently enforced, and it's imperative that all state driver licensing agencies comply with federal regulations. We appreciate USDOT taking these steps to guarantee that happens, and we look forward to reviewing the rule in detail and providing specific feedback in our official comments."
In April, ATA President & CEO Chris Spear sent a letter to USDOT Secretary Duffy calling for an audit of non-domiciled CDL issuance.
