Saying there is not a substitute for commercial motor vehicle driving experience, the FMCSA denied the United Parcel Service’s request for exemption from the agency’s entry-level driver training rule.
In June, Atlanta-based UPS asked FMCSA to change the provisions that require a driver training instructor to have two years of experience with a commercial driver’s license and to register each training location for a unique training provider registry number.
According to UPS, it has an eight-week driver training school that trains its employees to become driver instructors. The school has trained hundreds of driver instructors, many of whom did not have previous CDL experience.
