California Just Revoked 17,000 Commercial Driver’s Licenses, State and Fed Officials Don’t Agree On Why

True, or cover story, because if an illegal driver could create problems for Dems?

[matt04]

Got caught giving CDLs to illegals?

[Jamestown1630]

17,000???

What is that going to do to commerce?

[Wilderness Conservative]

American truckers wont miss the foot washers in the rest room.

The relatives of the people that died in Florida have a case against the state of California and Washington in issuing those CDL’s I think

[Cold Heart]

Makes it a whole lot safer.

But I know what you are addressing.

[China Clipper]

Cue liberal judge to overrule in 3...2...1....

DMV systems are never perfect, no matter the state.

Indeed I’m dealing with S.C. and California they say my car has two titles.
It doesn’t and they have NO idea how it happened.

They are as helpful as a screen door on a submarine.

Looks like Oprah was giving them out. You get a license and you get a license and you get a license.

[nickcarraway]

Is your care a 1932 Ford?

[catnipman]

Daum! Yesterday, I just called for this to be done ...

[1Old Pro]

Newsome doesn’t want illegals with CA drivers licenses killing people during his run for the Dem nomination, not a good look.

CYA Newsom argued 17,000 licenses were issued “legally”
under DHS guidance before the new rules even existed

Other CDL licensing problems uncovered across the country:
<><>A whistleblower said a clerk’s office in Ky sold licenses under the table for $200 apiece,
<><>this lead to nearly 2,000 revocations and a criminal probe.
<><>an Indian trucker in Oklahoma had a valid NY CDL issued to “No Name Given,”
<><>deemed a clerical breakdown; DHS called it “a gap in state verification.”
<><>Cali’s cancellation sweep isn’t tied to fraud on that scale,
<><>but underscores the problem when enforcement lags behind political battles.

FTA—New federal rules, announced in September, now limit commercial driver’s license eligibility to just three types of visa holders
<><>H-2A for agricultural workers,
<><>H-2B for temporary non-agricultural workers,
<><>and E-2 for investors.

That narrows the pool from about 200,000 noncitizen commercial drivers nationwide to around 10,000 who’ll still qualify under the revised guidelines......a 95% slash.

States must now verify every applicant’s immigration status through a federal database, and any new commercial license will automatically expire when the holder’s visa does.

[ZOOKER]

Just wondering how many of those who got bogus CDL licenses ALSO GOT bogus voter registrations?

[Ronaldus Magnus III]

And every person who interacts with the Kalifornia DMV (regular license, CDL, registration, etc) EVERY person, legal, illegal, feline, whatever, is registered to vote.

I have been seeing an increase in flatbed trucking rates the last couple months.
It is not due to an increase in diesel either.

One of my mills stated that:

“trucking is a b#tch for everyone now”

This means that the rates we pay per mile to transport something have gone up. It is inflationary.
Less drivers, less trucks available, if demand stays the same, prices go up incrementally. ECON 101

[Vaduz]

No a 2020 what a strange question

[nickcarraway]

it was a joke. A 1932 Ford is referred to as a Deuce, at least I think so I’m not really a car guy. A deuce, two titles.

[Vaduz]

I bought the car in S.C. moved to Ca got a clean title sold the car in Indiana and Indiana says S.C. issued a second title called I spoke to S.C. DMV (5) times they checked their data base and their notional data base and have no idea where it was sent or the name on it.

Sounds like Billy Bob at the DMV is issuing titles for bucks.

LOL..."California Governor Gavin Newsom’s office said the revocations stem from violations of existing state law, not immigration status"

Uh huh. Sure, Gavin.
