FMCSA extends comment period for entry-level CDL training

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) has pushed back the deadline for responding to its Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) on training for entry-level drivers by almost two months, to May 23, 2008.

The NPRM, published in the Federal Register December 26, 2007, calls for the addition of hands-on training to its mandatory requirements for entry-level CDL drivers.
