What it does
The ROUTE Act would allow eligible drivers aged 18 to 20 who hold an intrastate commercial driver’s license to operate commercial motor vehicles in interstate commerce within a 150 air-mile radius of their normal work reporting location, provided they return to that location within 14 consecutive hours and have at least 10 consecutive hours off duty between shifts. The bill amends Title 49 of the United States Code to create this limited exception, maintaining that the driver’s normal work reporting location must remain in the state where their license was issued. It affects young drivers seeking to engage in interstate trucking under supervised, restricted conditions.
