The ROUTE Act expands the eligible interstate truck driver pool by allowing 18-20 year olds to operate commercial motor vehicles within a 150 air-mile radius. This directly addresses the trucking industry's driver shortage, increasing labor supply and reducing operating costs for carriers. Trucking companies gain from improved driver availability and efficiency.
The Non-Domiciled CDL Integrity Act tightens requirements for Commercial Driver's Licenses (CDLs) issued to non-domiciled individuals, specifically targeting those without lawful immigration status or employment-based visas. This bill reduces the pool of eligible drivers, leading to increased labor costs for trucking and logistics companies. The trucking industry faces a persistent driver shortage, and these new restrictions exacerbate the problem, driving up wages and operational expenses.
