Agri-Tech Aviation wants to let drivers with a learner's permit, who’ve passed their skills test but don’t yet have a full commercial driver’s license, drive their big vehicles alone—no experienced driver needed in the passenger seat. This change affects their commercial drivers and could speed up training and operations. The public can share their thoughts by December 24, 2025, so don’t miss your chance to weigh in!

Allow CLP Holders to Drive Alone
Agri‑Tech Aviation asks FMCSA for an exemption so drivers who hold a commercial learner's permit (CLP) and have passed the CDL skills test but have not yet received their full CDL could drive the company's commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) without a licensed CDL holder seated beside them. If granted, the exemption would apply to six drivers who work for Agri‑Tech Aviation, which operates only in Iowa and within a 150‑air mile radius of its home base. FMCSA is requesting public comments on this request by December 24, 2025.
