A Resolution urging the Congress of the United States to pursue legislative remedies to allow individuals 18, 19 and 20 years of age with a Commercial Driver's License to participate in interstate commerce activities.
This Senate resolution asks the U.S. Congress to change federal rules so that drivers aged 18, 19, and 20 with a Commercial Driver's License can legally transport goods across state lines. Currently, federal regulations require interstate drivers to be at least 21, a limit the bill seeks to remove to help address a projected shortage of truck drivers. The proposal emphasizes maintaining high safety standards and performance criteria while expanding the pool of available workers for the trucking industry.
