It is now significantly harder for non-U.S. citizens to obtain a commercial driver's license under new rules the Transportation Department imposed Friday.
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said an audit that was done after a deadly crash in Florida last month that was caused by a truck driver attempting an illegal U-turn showed that the previous rules weren't strict enough and a number of states weren't following them consistently. Duffy has said that truck driver should have never received a commercial license because of his immigration status.
