Summary
The FMCSA said no to Bianco Trucking Services' request to let 18- to 20-year-olds with special permits from other states train at their Michigan facility. They looked closely at safety and public feedback and decided this change wouldn’t keep everyone as safe as current rules do. So, no changes or extra costs for drivers or trainers right now!

Denied: No Training for 18–20 Out‑of‑State CLP Holders
If you are 18 to 20 years old and hold a "K" restricted commercial learner's permit (CLP) issued by another State, the FMCSA denied Bianco Trucking Services' request to allow you to attend Bianco's driver training facility in Michigan. FMCSA said granting the exemption would not meet the same level of safety as current rules, so the current rule remains in place and there are no changes now.
