Bill overview
The ROUTE Act (Responsible Opportunity for Under-21 Trucking Engagement Act) would allow drivers under 21 to operate commercial motor vehicles in interstate commerce, but with significant restrictions. Specifically, these drivers would be limited to operating within a 150-mile radius of their regular work location and must adhere to strict hours-of-service regulations. The bill aims to provide limited employment opportunities for younger drivers while prioritizing safety. It amends existing regulations within Title 49 of the United States Code.
