概要

 Welcome to your weekly DOT Dispatch, where we unpack the headlines steering America's roads, rails, and skies. This week's blockbuster: Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy is withholding $160 million in federal funding from California for issuing illegal non-domiciled CDLs, linked to safety audits and fatal crashes that revoked over 90,000 such licenses nationwide, according to USDOT press releases.

Duffy's team is charging ahead with trucker-friendly moves. FMCSA rolled out the MOTUS registration system for smoother carrier sign-ups, and they're launching pilot programs like Split Duty Periods—pausing the 14-hour driving window for up to three hours—and flexible sleeper berth options to boost safety without burnout. Expect protocols by early 2026, with 500-plus drivers joining. Meanwhile, a crackdown on illegal truckers ramps up using AI, as Punjabi Radio USA reported this week, amid looming Mexico and China tariffs reshaping freight.

Regulatory tweaks abound: no more carrying ELD manuals in cabs, electronic DVIRs okayed, and clearer ag haulers' HOS exemptions by year's end. Duffy's January 29 memo signals rollbacks on old regs, prioritizing economic wins over climate mandates, per Holland & Knight analysis.

For everyday Americans, safer roads mean fewer crashes—DOT aims for under 36,458 fatalities by 2026. Businesses gain paperwork relief and autonomous truck rules by May, easing hiring but pressuring compliance; carriers could see Amazon ratings tighten on out-of-service rates. States like California face budget hits, forcing safety overhauls, while locals align projects with user-funded priorities.

Duffy said, "Safety of Americans on our roads comes first." Experts note over 40 rules in the pipeline, from seizure standards easing driver quals to CDL testing across states.

Watch May 2026 for autonomous proposals and proficiency exams for new carriers. Dive deeper at transportation.gov or FMCSA.dot.gov. Comment on pilots via federal registers.
