Just read that CRST in US have been granted an exemption by the FMCSA to allow non-CDL holders with learners permits to drive without the trainer in the seat of the truck, then allowing them to run as a team.
This is beyond crazy, who next ? Swift ? Werner ?
These big carrier’s accident records are shocking now as it is with CDL holders, it can only get worse.
Glad I don’t drive in the US no more.
From what i have read about this, the Carriers that are allowed this, is for the driver to drive to his home state do pass his test. if the carrier has proven that the driver is capable of driving alone, and is trained (to what standard, i don’t know). Then he can drive alone, legally.
