Protecting Due Process for Commercial Drivers
Freedom Drivers is a coalition of commercial truck drivers advocating for due process, regulatory clarity, and consistent enforcement of licensing standards.
Why It Matters
Workforce Stability
Thousands of lawful CDL holders face procedural uncertainty that threatens their ability to work and provide for their families.
Supply Chain Continuity
Disruptions to the commercial driver workforce create ripple effects across freight, logistics, and the broader economy.
Family Stability
When a lawful driver loses their CDL without clear process, entire families lose their livelihood and financial security.
Regulatory Clarity
Conflicting federal and state authority creates confusion for drivers, employers, and enforcement agencies alike.
What We Are Asking For
Uniform Federal Standards
A single, clear set of federal rules for CDL issuance and enforcement, eliminating the patchwork of conflicting state interpretations that create uncertainty for drivers and employers.
Notice Before Action
No CDL suspension or cancellation without written notice, a clear explanation of the basis, and a meaningful opportunity for the driver to respond before any action takes effect.
Objective Testing Standards
Licensing and enforcement decisions based on standardized, documented criteria rather than subjective roadside assessments that may vary by officer or jurisdiction.
