Over the last two days I had the opportunity to learn the new CDL modernization test that goes into place November 4th of this year here in Wisconsin. Changes to the pre-trip and the basic control skills were the main focus as the road test remains unchanged. First of all thanks to Paul and the staff at Fox valley Tech in Appleton for a great job in educating us on the new testing procedure! Secondly I would like to remind ALL CDL schools...we do not teach to pass the test, we teach to give our new drivers EVERYTHING they need to be SAFE, proficient and professional drivers. The new CDL testing shortened the pre-trip and eliminates some backing maneuvers. Keep in mind we still need to teach what is required in the Entry Level Driver Training Curriculum. My passion has always been to educate to the fullest and not take shortcuts and not to train to pass a test, but to train to give knowledge and skills to be the safest they can be!

CVTA - Commercial Vehicle Training Association, thank you for your support we are honored to have Jerome Redmond serve as Senior Advisor for Task Force Movement Trucking! Thank you for participating Andrew Poliakoff and Jerome Redmond, and for your leadership and support to Task Force Movement.
Last week, CVTA Board Member Jerome Redmond and Executive Director Andrew Poliakoff attended a meeting with Task Force Movement, hosted at The White House Eisenhower Executive Office Building. Task Force Movement is a group of strong advocates that work to create pathways to careers in the trucking, healthcare and cybersecurity industries for our nation’s veterans. The Task Force came together in response to the Trucking Action Plan to Strengthen America’s Trucking Workforce and CVTA members like Werner Enterprises have participated since its inception. CVTA joined Patrick D. Nemons and Deputy Administrator Vinn White from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration in addition to Werner's Jafi Roskey and Fastport, Inc.'s Brad Bentley, to highlight opportunities to grow the trucking workforce and expand options for veterans. Acting in his role as Senior Policy Advisor on TFM, Jerome Redmond looks forward to sharing insights on issues critical to meeting this goal, like the enforcement of Entry-Level Driver Training standards, optimization of WIOA funding, and increases in grant programs to help future drivers access professional training.

NEW SCAM ALERT: FMCSA is aware of a phishing fake email being sent to carriers. This email, pretending to come from FMCSA, asks carriers to complete an attached form. In some cases, the email asks carriers to upload a copy of a certificate of insurance and Driver’s License to protect against fraud. The altered form requires a customer to provide their Social Security Number and USDOT Personal Identification Number. Remember: ✅ FMCSA would not request this information on a form. ✅ Communications from FMCSA relating to information requests of this type would either request you to log in to your portal account or come directly from an FMCSA dedicated mailbox. ✅ Communications from FMCSA would come from an official FMCSA email address, NOT [email protected] or [email protected]. ✅ Verify any email or communication you feel to be suspicious with FMCSA or the appropriate agency.
