Idaho has become the latest state to stop issuing non-domiciled commercial driver's licenses.
The change became official July 1.
Other states not issuing CDLs to drivers who not live within their borders include:
- California
- Colorado
- Washington, D.C.
- Hawaii
- Nevada
- Oregon
Other states have paused issuing non-domiciled CDLs. They include New York, Washington and Texas.
Non-domiciled CDLs have become a high profile issue in the trucking industry following several fatal accidents involving foreign-born truckers in the U.S. illegally but who received CDLs.
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration has audited states' processes for issuing non-domiciled CDL, and found numerous discrepancies.
So far, more than 28,000 non-domiciled DCL holders have been removed from U.S. highways, according to the Department of Transportation.
Thw crackdown on non-domiciled CDLs comes as the federal government also targets truckers who are not proficient in English and who may not be able to read highway signs. Cabotage -- drivers with foreign CDLs delivering freight within the U.S. -- has also been targeted.
