Legislation aimed at training drivers younger than 21 to drive trucks across state lines was recently unveiled by a group of senators.
Led by Sen. Todd Young (R-Ind.), the Developing Responsible Individuals for a Vibrant Economy, or DRIVE-Safe, Act aims to enhance safety training, as well as employment opportunities for truckers.
Specifically, the bill would establish an apprenticeship program to allow commercial driver license holders under 21 years old to operate commercial motor vehicles in interstate commerce.
