The Biden administration has announced a new plan to increase the number of truckers on American roadways amid a nationwide shortage of drivers.

The plan includes $30 million in funding to expedite the Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) process, while the Department of Labor (DOL) will steer $8 million to trucking apprenticeship programs.
