The Long Haul

Falling Through the Cracks: DACA Drivers vs New CDL Rules


Listen Later

In this episode of The Long Haul, Adam Wingfield sits down with Jorge Rivera, a longtime truck driver and DACA recipient caught in the middle of a growing regulatory battle. As new rules around non-domiciled CDLs take center stage, Jorge shares how drivers like him—fully vetted, experienced, and deeply rooted in the U.S.—are being unintentionally pushed out of the industry.
From viral moments and real-world encounters to ongoing legal challenges, this conversation dives into the gap between policy and reality—and the human cost of being overlooked. Whether you’re a driver, carrier, or policymaker, this is a perspective you’re not hearing in the headlines.
