New drivers with no guidance. Great plan 😫

Here is the summary of the proposed changes: FMCSA proposes to increase flexibility for State Driver Licensing Agencies (SDLAs) and commercial driver’s license (CDL) applicants by expanding applicants’ ability to take a CDL skills test in a State other than their State of domicile; permitting a commercial learner’s permit (CLP) holder who has passed the CDL skills test to operate a commercial motor vehicle (CMV) on public roads without having a qualified CDL holder in the passenger seat; eliminating the requirement that an applicant wait at least 14 days to take the CDL skills test following initial issuance of the CLP. The NPRM also proposes to remove the requirement that CMV drivers must have a passenger (P) endorsement to transport CMVs designed to carry passengers, including school buses, when the vehicle is being transported in a driveaway-towaway operation and the vehicle is not carrying any passengers. Additionally, FMCSA proposes to require that third-party knowledge examiners be subject to the training, certification, and record check standards currently applicable to State knowledge examiners and third-party knowledge testers be subject to the auditing and monitoring requirements now applicable to third-party skills testers. The NPRM responds to petitions for rulemaking from the American Trucking Associations (ATA) and the New Hampshire Department of Transportation (NHDOT), as discussed below. FMCSA believes these proposals would improve the efficiency and convenience of CDL issuance and improve highway safety by further ensuring the integrity of third-party CDL knowledge testing. These are just proposed changes by the FMCSA, including allowing CDL skills tests in a state other than the applicant's domicile, letting CLP holders operate a CMV on public roads after passing the skills test without a qualified CDL holder present, and eliminating the 14-day waiting period for the skills test after CLP issuance. It does not explicitly state whether CDL learners permit holders can drive big rigs without the full license, but it outlines measures aimed at increasing flexibility and efficiency in CDL issuance. (For those who need it broken down without all the jumbo jumbo: They want to make it easier for learners to take the driving test in a different state, let them drive on real roads after passing the test, and remove the waiting time before taking the test. It doesn't exactly say if learners can drive big trucks without the full license, but it's about making getting the license easier.) TLDR; this is sensationalist bullshit.
