The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration is proposing to expand the military occupational specialties associated with its pilot program that allows people between the ages of 18 and 20 who possess the U.S. military equivalent of a commercial driver’s license to operate trucks in interstate commerce. Under the proposal, the military occupational specialties will be expanded by nine positions as an effort to provide additional service members with opportunities in trucking, according to a notice scheduled for publication in the Federal Register on Oct. 9. Current federal law does not allow operators younger than 21 to drive Class 8 commercial motor vehicles across state lines.
