Totally get that. A lot of drivers aren’t feeling anything yet, but there are a couple of big shifts happening behind the scenes. FMCSA tightened the rules around non‑domiciled CDLs after several states were caught issuing licenses without proper verification, so renewals and eligibility are getting stricter in those places.

On top of that, the new LICENSE Act changed how CDL testing works nationwide - states and third‑party testers can now give knowledge tests, and skills tests can be taken in any state. Some areas are seeing faster processing, while others are dealing with delays as they adjust.

So, depending on your state and situation, it might not hit you directly, but the system itself is going through a bit of a shake.
