In this episode of Nemo Nation, hosts Dave Nemo and Jimmy Mac sit down with Andy Poliakoff, Executive Director of the Commercial Vehicle Training Association (CVTA), and Jeff Burkhardt, CVTA Chairman and Senior Director of Operations for Commercial Driver Training at Ancora Training. Together, they unpack one of the most critical conversations happening in the trucking world right now—ELDT enforcement and the complex issue of non-domiciled CDL drivers.

Andy and Jeff bring both policy insight and hands-on training experience to the discussion, breaking down how these issues impact schools, carriers, and new drivers entering the industry. They explore what proper enforcement means for road safety, the challenges facing training providers, and how the CVTA is advocating for smarter regulation and a stronger driver pipeline.

With decades of combined experience, Andy and Jeff provide clarity on where the industry stands—and where it’s heading—as federal and state agencies work to align standards for the next generation of professional drivers.
