The Driver’s License Bureau of the Missouri Department of Revenue has applied for two limited exemptions from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s CDL regulations to help smooth the path for discharged military personnel to civilian careers as truck drivers. In its first exemption request, posted by FMCSA on April 11, Missouri DOR proposes that it be allowed to extend the 90-day waiver, afforded to all States, of the CDL skills test for applicants regularly employed or previously employed within the last 90 days in a military position requiring operation of a commercial motor vehicle to one year following the driver’s separation from military service.
