Iowa announces new CDL opportunities for truck drivers

To provide residents with more opportunities to obtain CDL, Iowa Gov. Kem Reynolds announced a new plan for newbie truckers in her state.

“Truck drivers play such a critical role in meeting our supply chain demands – if you got it, a truck driver brought it,” Reynolds said. – “Like the rest of the nation, Iowa, too, has a high demand for truck drivers; and in order to meet that demand, we need innovative solutions that reduce barriers for anyone interested in truck driving.”

The press release says the new Iowa Entry Driver Program will provide $6 million to support nonprofits or related organizations that sponsor or partner with key programs designed to help drivers in the CDL driving check.

The innovation should remove costly barriers and ultimately get more drivers on the truck driving.

“Current CDL can be costly or limited, making the pathway to obtain or upgrade the document more difficult despite a much higher demand for truckers,” the news release stated.
