Currently, truckers who cross state lines must be at least 21 years old, but an apprenticeship program to ease supply chain backlogs would drop that age to 18.
After more than 5 million people signed an online petition, the governor of Colorado has reduced the 110-year sentence for truck driver Rogel Aguilera-Mederos to just 10 years.
The FMCSA must reach out to carriers with excellent safety records to take part in the program, according to the Transportation Department. The test is part of a broader set of measures from the Biden administration to deal with the trucker shortage and improve working conditions for truck drivers. "This program creates a rigorous safety training program, requiring an additional 400 hours of advanced safety training, in which participants are evaluated against specific performance benchmarks," Geale said. The program will ensure that the industry has enough drivers to meet growing freight demands, he said.
