[QUOTE="cheryl, post: 4621486, member: 1"] [URL='https://www.freightwaves.com/news/ups-tries-again-for-entry-level-driver-training-exemption'][B]UPS tries again for entry-level driver training exemption - Freightwaves[/B][/URL] [B]Company hit by trainer turnover since first attempt was denied by FMCSA[/B] UPS is taking another swing at a federal exemption from new entry-level driver training (ELDT) regulations as it struggles to fill driver training slots across its network. The new application, to be published Wednesday in the Federal Register, follows a denial last year by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) of its initial attempt for an exemption of the ELDT regulations. The final ELDT rule is scheduled to go into effect Feb. 7, 2022. UPS contended in its initial petition that its own well-established training program effectively trains its drivers. However, the company contended that if it were 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.
