Jack J. Casciato, partner at Clifford Law Offices, recently authored a column for the Chicago Daily Law Bulletin on a President Trump initiative to lower the driving age for truckers to 18-years-old. Currently, it stands at 21-years-old to operate a commercial vehicle interstate.
Casciato discusses the implications of this measure, particularly given the statistics of accidents involving teen drivers and the idea of putting them behind the wheel of 80,000-pound tractor trailers.
Read his column here as to if there is actually a “hidden agenda” behind this move.
