## Summary

**Allows limited interstate trucking by 18-to-20-year-old commercial drivers.** It would let drivers who hold intrastate-only commercial driver's licenses operate in interstate commerce within a 150 air-mile radius of their normal work reporting location under specific hours and location rules. - Young drivers: Eligible drivers must be at least 18 but under 21 and hold a commercial driver's license limited to intrastate operation. Their normal work reporting location must remain in the state that issued the license. - Employers: Can assign these drivers to short-haul interstate runs within 150 air miles, but drivers may not be on duty more than 14 consecutive hours after departing their normal work reporting location and must have at least 10 consecutive hours off between on-duty periods. - Legal effect: The proposal expressly authorizes these limited interstate operations even if other federal provisions would otherwise restrict interstate driving.
