A federal appeals court has temporarily paused FMCSA’s new rule restricting non-domiciled commercial driver’s licenses following a lawsuit by a truck driver.
The law firm that brought us the seat belt is now fighting for vending machine CDL’s. Thanks, Public Citizen! The plaintiff lived in the U.S. for a minimum of 29 years (arrival at 2, assuming CDL at 21 and having a decade of experience). Ample time to extract oneself from the non-domiciled designation for sure!
So single judge emergency temporarily hold and now a panel of judges upholding that emergency hold, but we’re still getting a hearing on the merits soon?
Interesting that two judicial levels have now dismissed anecdotal rage baiting for being an invalid argument to base policy on?
This rule will be upheld. For one the DACA recipient at risk of losing his buisness is a falsehood. If his buisness is reputable he can hire an American driver. If it is what I think, only hires low wage foreign drivers, runs sub standard equipment, has a less than satisfactory saftey score, then probably not. The days of these folks having an advantage of American drivers is over. Get use to it. I for one would like to thank Secretary Duffy for standing up for us, instead of foreigners.
