Freedom Haulers Act

This bill requires the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration to issue rules within 180 days extending the commercial driver's license skills test waiver for former service members from 12 months to 24 months after they leave the military. It also requires states to waive the commercial driver's license knowledge test and driving test for current and former military members who held certain vehicle-operating jobs and meet clean driving record conditions. States would also have to waive certain tests for passenger, tank vehicle, and hazardous materials endorsements for qualifying military operators, while keeping medical and background check requirements. Adopting this program would become a requirement for state participation under federal commercial driver's license law.
