Rep. David Rouzer is Working to Fix the Broken Non-Domiciled CDL System

Author: Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association October 30, 2025 Duration: 28:47

There is no hotter topic in trucking right now than non-domiciled CDLs – and while the Trump administration has made enforcement a focal point, long-standing changes will take an act of Congress. Enter Representative David Rouzer of North Carolina, who recently introduced a bill that would create stricter requirements for the issuance of non-domiciled CDLs. The congressman joins the show to tell us what prompted the move – and why he feels the legislation could pick up bipartisan support on its way to becoming law.
