    The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) is inviting public comments on an application from Bianco Trucking Services, LLC for an exemption. This exemption would allow drivers aged 18 to 20, who have a Wisconsin State-issued commercial learner's permit with certain restrictions, to attend driver training in Michigan. The training facility is listed on the FMCSA's Training Provider Registry and is conveniently located near the Wisconsin border. The FMCSA is accepting comments on this exemption request until February 14, 2025.

    Simple Explanation

    The U.S. government is thinking about letting younger drivers from Wisconsin go to a special school in Michigan to learn how to drive big trucks, and they want to hear what people think about it. This is important because there are usually rules about young drivers traveling to different states to learn, and they need to make sure it's safe.

    The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) has decided to deny 3 North LLC's request for a 5-year exemption that would allow three of its commercial driver's license (CDL) holders, who are under the age of 21 with a "K" restriction for intrastate-only operations, to drive in a state other than their home state. FMCSA determined that granting this exemption would not provide a level of safety equivalent to existing regulations. The decision was based on an evaluation of the application, public comments, and concerns about disrupting state regulations regarding "K" restrictions. The agency suggested that the Safe Driver Apprenticeship Program could be a better alternative for those drivers.

    Simple Explanation

    The government decided that three young drivers can't drive big trucks in states outside of where they live because it's not safe enough. They suggested another program for safer driving practice instead.
