More military technicians can now drive commercial trucks without a special license

The US Department of Transportation wants to let more military personnel drive commercial trucks without needing a special license. This means a specific group of military technicians will no longer need to get a separate commercial driver's license to do their jobs.

This change makes it easier for military technicians who already drive large vehicles for the military to transition into civilian roles that require a commercial driver's license. It removes a bureaucratic hurdle, potentially increasing the pool of qualified commercial drivers. This is part of a broader effort to recognize military training for civilian certifications.
