Federal review of truck driver licenses prompted by deadly Florida crash
The Trump administration is ramping up efforts to enforce rules for commercial truck drivers after a recent tragic U-turn crash in St. Lucie County involving Harjinder Singh. The move follows Florida's push for federal action against California and Washington. Governor Ron DeSantis emphasized that CDLs should not be given to those who can't comprehend traffic signs or communicate effectively, a requirement set by an executive order from President Trump. U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy has threatened to withhold funding from states like California, New Mexico, and Washington for non-compliance. There are concerns about the licensing process and the language proficiency of commercial drivers, prompting further investigations.
