REP. BRIAN MAST: I want unsafe truckers off our highways — and America's veterans in their seats

Following a fatal crash on Florida’s Turnpike involving a driver with an illegal CDL license, Rep. Brian Mast argued that America should not lower its safety standards for foreign nationals. Sean Duffy introduced legislation creating the Freedom Haulers program, which aims to fast-track American veterans with military heavy-vehicle experience into the commercial trucking industry while removing dangerous, unqualified drivers.
