Jay shares OOIDA’s perspective on non-domiciled CDLs following the recent deadly crash in California, and the organization’s letter to Congress addressing safety and oversight concerns. He also provides a clear rundown of the new English language proficiency legislation and what it could mean for professional drivers across the country.
