The United States Postal Service has decided to ‘phase out’ the employment of who they refer to as ‘non-domiciled’ CDL drivers.
“In order to maintain the highest possible safety standards, we have decided to phase out any use of non-domiciled Commercial Driver’s License operators who have not been thoroughly vetted by the Postal Inspection Service,” McReynolds continued.
Non-domiciled CDLs are commercial licenses issued by state governments to drivers who are not residents of that state, typically applying to foreign nationals. These licenses have become the focus of national debate as a string of fatal crashes by foreign nationals, many of whom entered the country illegally, have spurred the Trump administration to make comprehensive changes.
They left themselves a loophole though. If a ‘non-domiciled CDL holder’ is ‘thoroughly vetted’ by the USPS, then they’ll keep them. Why would these drivers not already be thoroughly vetted considering their cargo? And why would any ‘non-domiciled’ person be used anyway? And what are their vetting criteria?
Yes good readers, these questions are rhetorical. But dang. So many little yet important things have come to light in the past year that it’s hard to keep up.
