Frankly Speaking, a political commentator on X, said that federal auditors have cited multiple states for commercial driver licensing practices that do not comply with federal regulations. The statement was made on X.
“In a nationwide non-domiciled CDL audit, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) has also identified Colorado, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Texas, and Washington as states with licensing patterns inconsistent with federal regulations,” said Speaking. “RU fixing this? How?”
According to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), a nationwide audit of non-domiciled Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) issuance revealed systemic irregularities in how multiple states verified identity, residency, and eligibility. The FMCSA’s official fact sheet indicated that investigators uncovered widespread non-compliance significant enough to trigger emergency corrective actions and federal oversight. The agency reported that several states repeatedly failed to follow federal licensing standards, raising national highway safety concerns.
Audit findings showed that California had improperly issued more than 25% of the sampled non-domiciled CDLs. Colorado, South Dakota, Texas, and Washington were also flagged for systemic issues. As reported by Land Line Media, FMCSA issued preliminary non-compliance determinations to those states and warned they could face funding consequences if standards were not corrected. These figures illustrate how widespread the verification failures were across jurisdictions.
The Federal Register notes that roughly 194,000 non-domiciled CDL holders exist nationwide, representing about 5% of all CDL holders. According to the Register’s analysis, FMCSA expects this population to be phased out under new rules aimed at restoring licensing integrity. The agency also emphasized that historical compliance levels have varied sharply across states during the past five years, prompting the latest reforms.
