WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Good (VA-05) introduced the Trucking Workforce Improvement Act to repeal a burdensome federal regulation on training for a commercial driver’s license (CDL). This unnecessary regulation mandates that truckers complete a Federal Government approved Entry-Level Driver Training (ELDT) in order to acquire a CDL license.

“The ongoing trucker shortage impedes our local farmers and manufacturers from doing business with their communities, driving prices up for consumers across the country. With rising inflation and a job shortage thanks to Bidenflation, the last thing Americans need is more regulatory overreach from bureaucrats in Washington,” said Rep. Good. “My bill will remove obstacles to entry for aspiring truck drivers, enable more opportunities for well-paid jobs, and unleash the American economy.”
