house 09/26/2025 - 119th Congress
We are working to create a structured apprenticeship program that allows commercial drivers under 21 to gain supervised, hands-on experience while ensuring safety on the road. This program aims to develop skilled young drivers through rigorous training and oversight before they operate independently in interstate commerce.
