FMCSA Finally Issues Final Rule on Driver-Training Standards
Finally the final rule on national minimum training standards has been issued. The new rule takes effect on February 6, 2017 and the compliance date is February of 2020.
The final rule does not include a requirement for 30 hours of behind-the-wheel training for new drivers, which had been included in the notice of proposed rule making that FMCSA issued in March of this year.
