Secretary Sean Duffy announces new DOT CDL rules after deadly crash.

I think it’s a very good start… There’s a lot of work to be done to fix this, but they have to start somewhere

 

Ill take what i can get

 

Sorry Duffy, not good enough.

Order all non-domicile/provisional CDLS revoked.

States that do not follow the rule suspend every authority in the state.

If his wife and kids were even close to being hit by a truck, he would have come up with serious regs and shut down everything until this problem is fixed.

 

Really simple, do not allow authorities to operate interstate.

This cuts the legs off of every carrier in the state, and I can guarantee that within hours, it will force the state to react and compile. The federal government has a hell of a lot of power under the Interstate Commerce Clause, and the large number of SC rulings that the state has zero power to do a thing about it; they just have to comply.

While the talk of restricting or withholding federal funding is a congressional issue, suspending all a specific states' authorities is right in the hands of the US DoT and FMCSA without a doubt.

The states are obligated under the agreement they have with the federal government to abide by all FMCSA laws or create stricter laws, having a non-domicile CDL being restricted or being invalid through regulations, means that the state can not have them at all. Stricter would mean eliminating all non-domicile and regular driver's licenses ahead of the feds.

 

Educating people about the problem is a good thing. Some people don't know what you mean when you tell them what's been going on. Sean Duffy is communicating effectively at least.

 

I predict a flurry of Lawsuits back and forth.

 

It's at 16:30 in this video. Also at 20:00 he talks about finding a way to make it retroactive

 

It's crazy, they did an audit in Cali in June and one of four CDLs has been issued with a violation
