[QUOTE="cheryl, post: 4288649, member: 1"] [URL='https://www.freightwaves.com/news/fmcsa-rejects-ups-driver-training-exemption-request'][B]FMCSA rejects UPS driver training exemption request - Freightwaves[/B][/URL] Federal regulators have denied a petition by UPS to be exempted from two requirements of the entry-level driver training (ELDT) final rule after finding the company failed to make a valid safety case for its request. [URL='https://www.freightwaves.com/news/ups-warns-training-regulations-will-hurt-its-long-haul-driver-hiring']In its petition filed earlier this year[/URL], UPS contended that its own well-established training program effectively trains drivers, but if forced to comply with the rule’s specific instructor qualification requirements it would be unable to use at least 25% of its current certified driver instructors, thereby limiting its ability to meet the demand for new drivers. The company also asked for a five-year exemption from a requirement that every training location be registered separately under the program’s Training Provider Registry, claiming it would place a “significant administrative burden” on its in-house training if it were required to register as many as 1,800 UPS locations where a new driver could be trained.
