Originally published at: New York to lose $73 million playing licensing games with the Duffy - FreightWaves
FMCSA confirmed today that $73,502,543 in federal highway funding has been withheld from New York after the state refused to revoke non-domiciled commercial driver’s licenses that its own DMV system issued illegally. More than half of the records audited violated federal law. Decertification of New York’s entire CDL program remains explicitly on the table.
Carriers who employ these non domiciled drivers do not care about exposure. If they did they would not employ them to begin with. Employing these people carriers so much risk that if a carrier has one iota of responsibility they would not even bother.
